Subject: modren metathesis



If Winnie always said 'modren' and would have written it that way, did she

commit/use/succumb-to methasis? What did she metathesize? She thought

the -r- came first. And if she learned it that way and never noticed others

saying the "unmetathesized" form, did she metathesize? Did she metathesize

the incoming auditory signal when she failed to notice the Lance family's

pronunciation?

Sorry to keep beating this stubborn mule.    DMLance
