I kind of swallow the uh sound, though I can't get rid of it altogether. How do you say arch?
Perhaps it's a regional thing, like the teacher from New York who had me thinking there was a car called a Porscher?
Hmm, you are correct, listening to my pronunciation, there is a chuh sound placed at the end. And I learn yet again.
Thank you for the return welcome.Originally Posted By: CandyThough I had to smile @ Faldage's "all months are one syllable"
Completely agreed, for he brought a laugh when one was needed. Thank you Faldage.
I now have the answers I sought, and being all the better for the inquiry there in.
I am very grateful for the support,
Rev. Alimae
