i dont care if it's right because that's how you would actually pronounce his full name. of course if you're saying his full name you would not stress the DAVE part, nor would you stress the LIN part. saying a full name you tend to stress the first and last names equally.

so no, i don't see why you chose to use the most beat-up phrases in the history of 2+2 to tell me something that isn't right.

again, i can't believe so many people thought it was dah'-vuh-lin.

Well, Dave's from Chicago as am I. There we accent the first syllable of the last name with a secondary accent on the first syllable of the first name.

All you commies from the other coasts can corrupt the language, dropping r's and adding them indiscrimitely, sticking "I got yuh (whatever) right heah" in the middle of conversation, being sensitive to the feelings of the audience by being condescending, but we midwestern folk have the proper usage of our language. This is borne out by the way the media speak, which is the way it is spoken in middle America.

Using "the most beat-up phrases in the history of 2+2" proves the point, because it is correct.

Jeet jet?

Media-speak much more closely resembles the way people talk in California, not the way people talk in Minnesota, Chicago, or anywhere else in middle America. Do U C Y?
