Geraldo - It's "Sa-Bean" pass, not "Sa-bine&a

I still say ice box instead of refrigerator. I can't seem to make the switch. It drives my mother batty.

Reminds me of the guy on CNN who kept mispronouncing Biloxi and after the umpteenth time pronounced it right and said "and stop sending me emails telling me I am pronouncing it wrong"

That was Aaron Brown. I nearly wet myself laughing when he said that.

He kept saying "Bye LOX eee." Folks, it ain't that hard. It's an Indian name, not something you spread on a bagel.

I see the grammar police are out.



The NOAA Weather Radio robot voice called it "SABAN"

BTW Roxy his name is spelt Geraldo not "Grealdo" lol

BTW Mike, spelt is not a word.

To my knowledge, "spelt" is most definitely a word. Actually, I prefer to use it than "spelled".

While we're on the subject of pronounciation (which we really shouldn't be because this is a weather forum ), "wander" is pronounced ONE-DER (like the digit 1 followed by "DER") and not WAN-DER. We have a local sportscaster who's been pronouncing it incorrectly for years.

Every reporter I've heard over the last month has mispronounced it! Someone needs to tell them it's pronounced "Buh - Lux - EEE" *NOT* "Buh - LOCK - See!"

Hmmm. I pronounce it "WAHHN-DER" i.e. "WAND-ER"

Now, "wonder" I pronounce "ONE-DER."

That's the tricky thing about it. "Wonder" should actually be pronounced "WUN-DER" (the "UN" here being pronounced as in "lunch" or "hunch"), while "wander" should be pronounced as I've previously stated.

Heh, to a Southerner like me, WUN and ONE are the same. The WAH in "wander" to me is the same as the WAH in "want."
