Whenever our Japanese designers listen to the Cadence rep (from Chelmsford,
Mass,) speaking about "viers", they can't seem to make the connection that
he's really speaking about "vias" :)

And it's Or-uh-gun, folks, not Or-e-gone.

Only in Piqua, Ohio, is the city name pronounced "Pick-way" (go figure...)

Or the multiple designations for a carbonated beverage, depending on where
you live in the US:
1) soft drink
2) soda
3) pop
4) soda pop
5) drink (southern US)

Or in the southern US, words ending in "er" are pronounced "uh," such as
"yon-duh" instead of "yonder"...

Then there is a German friend of mine who emigrated to the US in 1957 who
had better diction than those born here...

Jus' had tuh throw in muh 0.02 dolluhs...

Everybody have a good weekend.

Steve,

I spent a number of years in Wichita, Can-sass and noticed that when it came
to the Ar-can-saw River the Can-sassans pronounced it Ar-can-sass River.
Sounds like a possessive thing to me.

By the way, where do all the "R's" come from in the Northeast corner of the
states? Words like Africa become Africer and Anaconda becomes Anaconder.

Boo! and get out the vote!

I got to add my two cents to this one!

As most of you know, I came out here to Tulsa, Oklahoma from California
about 5-years ago. One thing that's always puzzled me out here, is why
Kansas is pronounced "Can-sass", but Arkansas is pronounced "Ark-can-saw"???

Happy Friday!
