Subject: Re: local locality pronunciations



In this vein, I've always regarded these idiosyncratic local pronunciations as

our modern (modren?) shibboleths. One of my favorites is the suburb of

Rochester spelled Chili and pronounced to rhyme with jai-alai.

A colleague has just reminded me that Taliafero County (in Georgia

somewhere along I-20) is pronounced [taliv[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]r] as a means of forgetting the

jerk after whoM the county was named.
