How Do You Say The Word, Our

[Goose and Fig]

We say it like "hour", but we're yankees.
My little girl, who does not have a southern accent, joined girl scouts when we moved to TN. When she recites the pledge she say "On mah awner, Ah will trah.... "

I say crick when its generic... "You can not play in the crick today".

I use creek when its named. 'We played in the Star creek today"

Weird huh?

Now I am curious, how do you say, Ginger? I bet that your accent is beautiful.

We named our dog Ginger, however we spell it the way I say it, so her name is Ginja.

A word I hated as a kid but still use is Yonner. I remember as a kid asking my grandmother where something was an she would say in yonner. I would walk away thinking, yea one less room to look. Where in the heck is Yonner. In Yonner means it could be any other room than the one we are in now.

Now I use it all the time too.

I've heard of yonder, but yonner is a new one.

There is no "D" in it in this part of the country.

I say it like the letter "R". I also don't say words using the g at the end. Standing is standin, walkin, etc.

I leave the g off also. I also homeschool and, just like one of the posters, tried very hard to say words in the 'correct' manner when teaching my children phonics.
