LEJ, If that Tom Shane dude lives in Denver, then he ships his monotone commercials to Portland OR, too. I used him recently as an example of someone who is really tone-deaf.
I wonder if "spit and image" has to do with how God made Adam (out of mud and spit,wasn't it?). Something of Himself, and clay?
One that bugs me is all these dang weathercasters who say either "tem-pa-chur" or "tem-per-shur". Or "ly-berry books".
I say iron "I-ern" and my daughter says "I-run". My husband's British mother pronounces "four" differently than "for".
Family reversals include the aformentioned "swell foop", "twinders bine", "poffee cot", "capsut", "Shunsine", and "Shize and rine".
Blessings,
Barbara
