Odd, I have never heard anyone born and raised in the US pronounce "advertisement" in the British way. My wife and I do the "Advertis ment" as a joke when we are speaking in our posh accents.

Why would you post such a thing without at least an opening mentioning his passing? Seems like you're trading off his death vs. doing a remembrance post.
