Re: Help Me Understand
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I'm sure I could pick out many names from the US that you can't say correctly either, it proves nothing other then that everyone thinks they're more important then they really are. [/ QUOTE ] I'll guarantee you if it's a State capital I could pronounce it. [/ QUOTE ] Fine, how do you say New Orleans (I know, not the capital) if you say it New Or - leans (three distinct syllables) as I hear the stupid newscasters/ sports guys say it, you're wrong. My wife is from down there and no one says it that way. It's one world :na'owlins. this drives me nuts. [/ QUOTE ] You got me there. I was watching Spike Lee being interviewed by Charlie Rose and they were pronouncing it two different ways. All of the pronounciations are bastardizations of the original French pronounciation anyway. I say Orlens, but most Canadians I've heard say Orleens. Spike Lee was saying Orleens.
