>wherein Schuylkill is pronounced skookle.
Hooray! Someone who knows the correct pronunciation of Schuylkill... :-)
One way we Berks Countians immediately identify out-of-towners is their mispronunciation of Reading (which is supposed to be "Redding") or the name of our neighboring county of Lancaster. Non-Pennsylvania Dutchies tend to say "Lan-caster" instead of the proper "Lenkister."

The Kentucky cities of Cadiz and Lafayette are pronounced by the locals as KAYdiz and laFAYette. (AY = long a)

Georgia and Dangling Participles
Boy, the Klan has moved on, hasn't it?
Yep. Our participles are free to dangle now. But you: keep an eye on the trees in your backyard. Or south garden. Or whatever y'all call it down there. Roger. 10-4. Over.

As far as I know, the town you're in is HOP-kns-vull.

>A sort of semi-long a. jmh says I think the only way for me to get over this problem is to fly over immediately, all this second hand stuff is just not good enough. I have to hear the a's.Research "on the groud" is finest kind. I'll ready the guest room, put on the tea and warm up the scones.  wow P.S. what is correct pronunciation of "scones?"

>P.S. what is correct pronunciation of "scones?" The short answer is "it depends on the way the cookie crumbles". If you have a few spare hours, it may be a good idea to run it through the trusty search engine. I seem to remember a discussion about it a while ago! Oh, and I'd like a hot water bottle!

Now confound it, you guys! Of COURSE I didn't think KY was the only state with one subscriber: better watch it, or you may wind up being the only octopus with seven tentacles. My uncle on the farm had a colorful saying when someone wanted the last biscuit or piece of chicken: if someone reached for it, they were going to "draw back a nub". And just for the record, I don't like jazz, either. And as to Anu's state: he is in an exalted state, and when I think of him, I am in a state of exaltation! Speaking of people from India, I read an article yesterday by a gentleman who has been there many times, and he asked himself: "What is it that makes India so different?... It was the worldview these people lived by and projected in their daily activities, their hands held together in greeting to assert that you and I are one, in the belief that this world is maya--illusion."
