Yang Li:	A swizz?
William:	Yes, a swizz. A swizz is a scheme that tricks people to make money. Like this company is making you call an expensive phone line—it's a swizz.
Yang Li:	I see.
William:	We might say "What a swizz", or "That's a bit of a swizz".

Yang Li:	You mean you don't know how to spell it? But this is BBC Learning English! We should know how to spell it. What a swizz!
