I pronounce the L in folks.


Don't most people?
No, the proper pronunciation of the word rhymes with poke or woke, using a long O sound but keeping the L silent. I pronounce the word more similarly to how most people pronounce polka.

Growing up in Texas, all soft drinks were called Coke. A couple years after moving to Missouri, I started saying soda. The other day I said pop and had to slap myself.
This, after living a couple of places well over 1,000 miles from TX.

i recently started saying warsh

not sure why...
Because you recently turned 80. Let me guess: dinner is now supper, a sofa is now a chesterfield, and a cell phone is now a pocket doodad.

"About" is "aboat" on occasion so I'm told. Cultural infiltration from the Canucks I hang around with I suppose.

After watching "Schultze Gets the Blues" I kept pronouncing it like a German in that movie pronounced it--New Brown Fels, but only around the locals.
