no, Dr bill, not et a -- essa-- as in ess'a bagel.. (ny corruption of the yidish..eat a bagel..) but like colonnel, and coronel, (said kernal, no matter how its spelt) it should be essa' molgy!
PS. did you hear about the poor guy from (pick a county) who finally thought he had a grasp on english.. he finally figured out all the different words with gh, and could pronounce them all!
