What a really really nice message to receive-- thank you so much, Cobe. It makes me feel all "aw shucksy" and unworthy. Scawns. On our first trip to England, we were informed by a Yorkshire gentleman in a pub somewhere between Windsor and London, that the correct pronunciation was not pasty with a long A, but with an a as in cat. Don't know whether that is a regional accent or universal, but scone/schawn seems comparable. My mother hated the way Southerners say the "ou" diphthong. For her FOUL was Fah-ool. For them, it is fa-ool with the cat a. Spurkey is a new one, but if we drench it in 57 sauce, it will be perfectly acceptable. What was that stuff that was like spam but worse. Spackle? No, that's something you do to holes in walls. It was like all the worst parts of pigs and you fried it up in the mornings? We did have spam sandwiches in our lunches occasionally; I liked the stuff, but haven't tasted it in years because I am too embarrassed to buy it.
