[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 464852, member: 1683"] In reading some of the posts that appear on these threads, I am curious as to the meaning and [b][i][u]PRONUNCIATION[/u][/i][/b] of certain words! Words mean things! If they are spelled the way they are pronounced - or - if they are pronounced the way they are spelled - it leaves me uncertain at times as to what the writer really is trying to say!?! :???: For example: SELL - should be pronounced as if sounding llike the words Bell, Dell, Fell, Jell, Nell, Tell, Well and Yell. All with a SHORT - "e". SALE - should be pronounced as if sounding like the words Bale (or Bail), Dale, Fail, Jail, Tale (or Tail), Wail, and Yale. Also Brail, Cale, Gale (or Gail), Hail, (or Hale), Kale, Male (or Mail), Nail, Pale(or Pail), Rail, SAIL (as in sailboat), also Snail (as in Garden). "I am going to 'sell' my bull." or "Will you 'sell' your bull to me?" NOT - "I am going to 'SALE, (Or BALE - OR - [b]FAIL[/b])' my bull. or "Will you 'SALE' (or BALE - or [b]FAIL[/b]' your bull to me?" I know, I know! This is just the old Teacher DOC HARRIS again.! But if we can't communicate what the heck we are talking about, how do we expect our customers, or the people who work for us to respect us and deal with us in a respectful, courteous and with a well-mannered attitude? If we can't speak and spell correct English (American) - - we are in DEEP DOO-DOO! (Which we ARE!) DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
