rjbrown2 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 The 'owner' of a name is the authority on its pronunciation. For instance here in GA we have a county, no doubt named after the Great Rev War guy, DeKalb. We pronounce it dee-CAB county. People from up North (Illinois and Indiana) correct us and say it is pronounced 'dee-CAWLB' county. When in Indiana etc.., but here etc. We also have another county "Taliaferro" You would never guess - TOLLiver (rhymes with DOLL-iver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I don't know what they call beveled wood siding in other parts of the US, but around here, we call them 'clabboards'... (Clap-boards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
