Today is Jeanne, from Baltimore's birthday. Happy Birthday Timetravel! Jeanne sends cat food to me every single month. The cats know the deal now. When the monthly package of Fancy Feast arrives, they all come running and are not very patient about waiting for me to rip that package open so I can serve them. Cats are that way.
Happy Birthday you nutty Baltimorian! Celebrate!!
Today is also my nephew's birthday. He is 25.

ReplyDeletethank you both.....nutty orogonions....?????? did i get it right lol????
ReplyDeleteWell, we do have filberts, aka hazelnuts, but not much else along those lines. Now, along to finer things...
ReplyDeleteorogonians? No, not quite. And, while we're on the subject, the pronunciation is ORegon rather than OreGUN, which a lot of people back East think it is. Also, it's WilLAMette Valley rather than WillaMETTE Valley. When I was a teacher in Mississippi, I didn't know any better, and I called it the latter.
believe it or not i actually know the correct pronunciation - thats what happens when one takes plenty of english and foreign language courses in college - one learns correct pronunciation of just about any ol' thang....how about oregoonions?????? lol...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jeanne! I place my vote for Oregoonians, lol.
ReplyDeleteOver in Michigan many people pronounce it Or-eh-GON (rhymes with ON). I was pronouncing it wrong until we visited my cousin who had moved there.
But there are many who call it DE-troit, instead of De-TROIT so it all evens out until you actually visit the place and learn what the natives call it.
Believe it or not, native marylanders often call their own state "Mare-land" which sounds like a land for horses, and baltimorians are worse - calling baltimore "ball-more" actually - the sound is not that clear because both words are sort of said in a mumbled way.....blame that on the folks from dundak (dundalk) who started this a century ago.....
ReplyDeleteT.T. "in college - one learns correct pronunciation of just about any ol' thang....how about oregoonions????"
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Cat and I are way impressed, because even we cant' pronounce that.
I know, Errin, in my original state of Mississippi, there is a city that is spelled Biloxi but pronounced Biluxi.
