Oh, man, you-all are great!
I do have a question for you, Max--well, everybody, really:
How is the word jewellery pronounced (correctly) where you live? Sometimes I hear three syllables--jew-el-ry--and occasionally, four--jew-el-er-ee.
I found your post fascinating: I'd thought "jew-ry" was confined to rural SE U.S.! Joo-ler-ee really gets on my nerves. Ugh.
