Pronounciation of "anacharis"?
"~ jan JJsPond.us" wrote in message
... This was brought up a while back, and we found it is pronounced differently based on what part of the country you're in. Here in the PNW the most common pronouncation is: ann Act er iss ~ jan Here in (temporarily cool & dry) Southcentral TX it's pronounced like it is in the much lovelier PNW. I.e., what Jan said.

Here in (temporarily cool & dry) Southcentral TX it's pronounced like it is in the much lovelier PNW. I.e., what Jan said. Gail I'd go for cool & dry. I'm on the eastside of the PNW, so we're HOT and dry. Suppose to see triple digits for the next 4-5 days in a row, otherwise just upper 90s. ;o) Luckily we're rarely humid. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |
