Subject: RE: Lyr req: Holmfirth Anthem
Does the rest of Yorkshire pronounce "pretty" as pratty? (If they do I've never heard it.) The Watersons pronounce it "pretty". I once heard a know-it-all in a session try to maintain that pratty flowers were a specific variety of flower (cf gilly-flowers = antirhinums (sp?)). Any info?
