Dale Nygard says it the same as you. ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 'What the hell could possibly go wrong?' | |||

Kinda like Mexia, Texas. No, no it's pronounced Ma-Hay-a. Perhaps Seguin, Texas. No, it isn't Seg-win it's Sa-geen, and of course the ever popular Bexar County, Texas, wrong again taco breath. . .It isn't BeX-ar, it's Bay-har, the county of San Antonio, Texas! Remember the Alamo!

REFUGIO is pronounced REY-FUU-GEE-O Guadalupe river is Pronounced GUA-DA-LUP-EH RIO Grande is pronounced REE-O GRAN-DAY The city of AMARILLO, Texas is pronounce wrong even by those who live there! It is a Spanish word meaning YELLOW, and is properly pronounced ........... AMA-REE-YO. ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Mac, I hate to correct you but - Refugio is phonetically pronounced- Re-fyur-io (a long 'u' sound) The 'g' is pronounced like an 'r'. I do not know why, but that is how it is pronounced. | |||

I stand corrected! If the locals pronounce it that way that must be correct, Kinda like AMARILLO!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||
