csberryWhen Calvin started speaking, in earnest, around 3 years old, I loved to hear him say the word "head." Because he didn't say "hed," he said "hay-ed."
Today, I'm talking to a guy on the phone. When saying "white," he pronounced it "why-ette" - like Wyatt Earp. The Southern drawl has its annoying abuses of the language, but I find this aspect charming.
