Subject: RE: BS: Schenectady Burns! Blame Canada!
Sha-neck-ta-dee. Each syllable pronounced separately and slowly. Europeons talk so fast compared to First Nations peoples that meaning is sometimes lost. Modern dictionaries don't cut the grass when I talk with my Native or French or German or Irish friends.

Yes, that is a derogatory typo. It is lost on many. It may offend some and it may gather disgust from some... Sha-nahk-a-day.
