That's the way I say it too Del. I'll go back and change it. I didn't do a very good job at the phonetics with that one. You may want to recheck your last answer because I added a word.. Door.

[ZK]

I say PICK Tya

Just in case you had ever wondered a reconstruction by a University in Florida believes Neanderthals (excuse the spelling) may have had an accent like us Kiwis (New Zealanders).

Here's one I didn't see on there. Most New Orleanians pronounce it

New OR-luns


It's funny that so many places are mispronounced by people enunciating the letters too much. Like, many people say or-e-GONE, but don't most people in the state call it OR-e-gun? And don't most people in LOO-ee-ville say Loo-uh-ville?

I can answer THAT one for you Katherine, because Louisville is just down the road from me! They say "LOH-uh-vul" or "LOH-vul". And they will quickly correct you if they hear you saying it any other way! It hits them like a screeching chalkboard when they hear "Loo-EE-ville".  LOL
