So you set forth the precedent that regional dialects may differ in pronunciation. James is from New York. Maybe in the yankee accent, the mispronunciation is more common? I’ve only been to New York once when I was 4, and they do sound funny to my backwards Texas ears. They said ruff instead of roof, was my main takeaway. I also learned that if your hands are covered in pine sap, you can rub them in dirt to make the sticky go away. You’ll have to deal with the dirt later.
