 Four! Loo-ih-VIL-yuns. The second one is really quick, but there. That's about the only time we give the old king his (semi-)correct pronunciation.

See?! Ms J is entirely average in her sylabbification ~ OK, so sometimes there's one more or less than Outlanders might expect but!

how would a civilized (read Louisvillian) person say hook? First--with the same vowel sound as in put*; just one sylABle: huk. We're not far enough south to say hu-uk. That reminds me: I want to find the Food Channel online today and find the Alabama lady's recipe for marinated salmon w/ pineapple salsa; I'd like to fix that tonight. I love to listen to her talk! *Not as in roof, but as in roof. Woops--make that the Food Network, and Maple-Glazed Salmon with Pineapple Salsa.

thanks for that. I feared that maybe you followed this dialectal approach:
hy-uo-ook-kuh

where Chicago is
For a long, long time the universal reaction to hearing one was from Chicago was to mime holding a tommy gun and saying, "Al Capone." Then it was to say, "Michael Jordan." What is it now?
