Re: I. pseudacorus (& pronunciation)


While I hate to be called a lurker, I must confess I am one to listen most
often, receiving many great ideas and seeing names of new plants to try.  I
have learned a lot, and enjoyed the discussions.   However, I guess I will
step up on the soap box and put my 2 mites in.

Does it REALLY matter a flat patooty how you pronounce the words in question???
I know from living all over the world that some folks pronounce things
"locally", and some have "accents", and some are being "hoity-toity", and
some of us JUST DON'T CARE.  I guess if we were linguists, it would matter.
But not being one, and not being so upstanding that I can't overlook someone
saying something another way, I guess I have to say:

Hey, say it how ya think.  Must be a thang.  (that is an east Texas "thing")
Keep up the information, no matter how ya pronounce it.  :+}
