maybe with an accent, burruh? buroh for me. Of course, you don't have an accent. Everyone else does, but not you. That's uh as in the sound of the 'a' in loofa. You say boo-roh? (is that what buroh means?). In the singular I could sometimes say buh-roh, but in the plural, as in 'the rotten boroughs' I would say burras, not buh-rohs.

no, it's the ough we're talking about, not the bur (it's in bold to show it gets the accent). I don't say ruh (or ras), I say roh. or rohs.

I clicked it as you said, and now am clicking the quote button at the top of this page thank you very much: I presume it is the quote box at the top of the page on this 'posting form' that I am to use, yes? well, it depends on what you want. clicking the one at top gets you a QUOTE box, as opposed to clicking the one within a post, as I did here, which get you a box quoting the actual poster I'm replying to (i.e., you).

Luke> thank you very much: I presume it is the quote box at the top
of the page on this 'posting form' that I am to use, yes?
there's no way I can answer that without displaying my inborn omniscience. you do see the difference in the two choices, right? and do you think there may be instances when you might choose one over the other?!

Yes I do see what you are saying, and before you responded, and
thanks for that too, I made changes trying to use what you told me and learned something else, "How to make change in Posting"
of which I was unaware.
I realize I can be a Little Brother, or Big Bother, but
I am very appreciative.

(or with tough as has been mentioned enough) Depends on the meaning. Which slough is that? Slough (rhymes with plow) is a noun meaning a swamp, as in Bunyan's 'Slough of Despond' in Pilgrim's Progress. In some dialects it is possibly pronounced 'sloe' or 'sloff'? Slough (sluff) is a verb for what a snake does with unwanted skin. It can possibly also be 'sloff' to some? What's the Slough you promounce slew (rhymes with through)?
