    Old Southern names have meaning and correct pronunciations. I think I was in 5th grade when I went to a Park Service ranger's ass at Fort Sumter for mispronouncing Moultrie.

    Now let's do Clemson which the 'necks have bastardized into Cleeeimpsun...

    I find accents and pronunciations interesting. It can answer a lot of questions without any being asked.

    Still annoys me that my wife changed me saying Supper to Dinner unconsciously.
    Dinner was a fancy white table cloth event growing up. To others it’s lunch.

    “Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965

    I thought the distinction was what time you're eating, not how fancy it is.

    Can't believe no one's mentioned Huger.

    I spent 32 years of my life in Clinton.. .Its Clinnon. I always enjoyed going to the lake and hearing people pronounce Chappells SC like the last name of the comedian Dave Chappelle. It was also widely pronounced Craw Hill instead of Cross Hill. It was also a struggle between Laurens and Lerens from the much older generation.
