Brigitte, say "Dak-o-nil" with less emphasis on the "o" or now that it's long off patent, just plain "clorothalonil".

Can't help with the grower names though. It's funny going to weigh-offs & hearing all the "variations" of these guys names. To save face, I try only to lost weight when referring to the seeds. 845, 846, etc. LOL

Applegate, Oregon

Hummm.....what I have heard to be correct is: Bobby-er, cal-ay, Pu-kos with long U like poop and long O like nose.

11/15/2003 10:10:44 AM

what about the first half...is it "ba" like bob or
"bo" like the name bo?

mr. bumpy.....favre = farve

in my opinion.....i've always heard pukos as butt's pronounciation like poop and nose.

Alun, yeah we're talking a 10 month winter coming up, no doubt,lol. Andy W. is correct. For all the people in Wisconsin and perhaps Oregon pronouncing my name "poopnose", please change it to how Andy says, that would be much appreciated. By the way, the little town I'm from (Leicester)is pronounced Lester..Joe Pukos

I just returned from Home "Depot". Is there a "pot" or a "po" in that word?

11/15/2003 6:36:11 PM

capt...i think it's home de"po" unless you did a drug deal while you were there, then it would be home de"pot".

Eau Claire, Wisconsin is said "O" Claire

in the summer the cheese heads "mehsure" their pumpkins but indianians "maysure" their pumpkins.

speaking of pronounciations... my name is spelled the french way, but not pronounced the french way....it's "bridge-it" ...just incase thea or some others thought it was different.

Cal-eye!

Reminds me of an old story: A couple were visiting Hawaii for the first time, and asked a resident: We've been here 2 weeks and we've heard this island pronounced "Ha-wy-ee" and "Ha-VY-ee", could you tell us which is correct? "Ha-VY-ee" the resident responded. Why thank you, the tourists proclaimed. The resident then retorted, "You're Velcome!""

Bridge-it,

I know its "po" but who made it that way and why. Where are the english majors out there? When my child couldn't spell certain words she would say it doesn't make any sense and she was right.

Capt, the origin of depot (de'po)is latin/french.

Leave it to the French to NOT do osmething we all else would manage to accomplish.

How's about "Greenwich"? I've yet to meet an American mid-westerner that could pronounce it without the "w".
