Bill,
It looks like Harry's ability to comprehend simple concepts is only equaled
by Kevin Noble.

And it is pronounced "tawn-ick."
No, it is pronounced "tonic". No one not native to the area
should
ever
try to mimic an eastern MA accent. They only succed in
making
embarrassing spectacles of themselves.
My mother was a Bostonian, and most of my close relatives were
born on
and
lived on the North Shore. The word is pronounced "tawnick."
How else could one possibly pronounce tonic, other than
"tawnick"?
You could always tell somebody wasn't from Eastern Mass when
they
would want directions to Pea Body rather than Peabudy.
Sort of like Wooster?
We have a Wooster down here in Maryland. It is the name of the
county that
is on the Atlantic ocean. We also have a Dooster county.

IIRC from my Fort Devins days, there is a town in Mass. named
Worcester,
pronounced 'wooster'.

What I was refering to. Was asking a cop for directions in the next
town, and he said go on road to Wooster. And I can not find a
Wooster on the map, but figured out he meant Worchester.
Figured that out all by yourself, did you? *I* knew that from the age
of two.

We from the west can actually properly pronounce a name as it is
spelled.

Worcester is spelled correctly. It was named after a town, later a
city, with the same name in England. The city in England is rather
famous. Worcestershire sauce originated in the same area. Did you grow
up mispronouncing the name of the sauce?

There are lots of words that are pronounced differently from what their
spelling might indicate at first glance. The way you find out is by
being an avid reader.

You obviously were not.



Avid reader, and just because a Cockney pronounces it that way, does not
mean it is correct.


A Cockney? The East End of London is a long way from Worcester.
You're not an avid reader, and likely never were.



And you still can not comprehend what you read.

More like "woosta", actually, except by those who live in or right around
the city, who pronounce it "wista". Quite simple, really. :-)

There *is* a place up here called "Hey-vrill" however.

You're correct.The wife and I lived in Ayers. Luckily, we spent only a few
months there.

Did I say something negative? I certainly hope I didn't call either one of
them an A**hole or rectal fissure.

Don,
I don't remember the "game", but my guess is Harry won. Over the years no
one has been as insulting as he is. I would guess he would win hands down,
and it would be declared "no contest".

It is refreshing to see you admit that Harry is the person who sent
rec.boats down the crapper flame fest, many years ago.

All right Mr. Pseudo Skipper...
When hostility broke out between you and Harry a couple of years ago,
another poster and myself offered our services as referee and scorekeeper,
as you and harry battled 'toe to toe' with digs and insults directed at
each other.
Do you remember the final score before we called it a 'no contest' and in
who's favour?




So using JimH's analogy, since you answered to the question I posed to
Skipper...you *are* the 'acting skipper'.
Thanks for clearing this mystery.

If I were Kevin and had just been compared to Harry, I'd be greatly upset. I'd
be tempted to use foul language.

Don, Kevin has already tried this approach. Since I answered this post, does
that make me 'Skipper' also?

Don,
Since I have been outed as the new improved "Skipper", I added my first name
to my handle, to make it easier for everyone. I am sure you notice the
similarities between "Skippers" writing style and mine. I am also a
internet expert so I found it very easy to Spoof someone's IP. Whatever you
do, don't tell anyone. Spoofing is illegal, and most ISP's will prosecute
anyone who spoofs an IP. Let's just keep this between you and me.
