Subject: RE: BS: Are you a sh-sher?
I say "appre-she-ate", "spesies" and "licorisse", but I was raised in the Ottawa Valley by a hoity-toity Montreal Anglo parent who forbid her children to say "orrnge", "squrrrrl" or "grodge" like all the other kids. The other parent was no relief, as he grew up in England saying "vittamin" and "privvacy", and spoke somewhat antique Mid-Atlantic his whole life.
