Hello there,
It's me again, just thought I would drop by and post another entry for my faithful followers. Hope everyone's 2011 is going good. I chose to say the year as Two-Thousand-Eleven. No Twenty-Eleven here, just my personal feeling.
Which brings me to another thing, how do you say the word for the little sheets of paper you clip from the Sunday paper to save 40 cents on Charmin or a buck off Little Juan Frozen Burritos?
This is a point of contention in my house, because my wife says the word coupon as (que-pon), I say it as (coo-pon). Now I am sure there are "rules" and all, like a bossy vowel or consanant making another letter sound wierd, why cant they all just get along and be themselves?
This is always a fun topic in a crowd because the pronunciation is split, and I can usually sway a few people over to the right side, oops, I mean MY side by asking them what you call an older woman who likes to date young men. You sure don't call her a "que-grr" now do you?
Thoughts?
Peace,
Woody
This is one of those "I say toe-may-toe, I say toe-mah-toe" things. Both are right, stop picking fights.
