Any CrazieTalkers want to be CrazieWalkers?

I've been thinking about this, and if Sir Walter's name were spelled "Ralegh," wouldn't we pronounce it "Roliff?"

Actually, the true pronunciation was probably somewhere closer to "Rawley". It was rendered this way or in similar fashion on a regular basis.

Both spellings have been accepted over the years (as with your misspelled state capital), but the true spelling is "Ralegh".
Consider yourselves chastened, you upstart rapscallions.

I wish they kept the original spelling, because I'm always putting that damn "i" in the wrong spot.

True Raleighites pronounce it "RAW-ley." Those who haven't been there for generations pronounce it simply "RAH-ley."

Forgive me but Isn't this bordering upon the similiar problem that we ran into with die .vs. dye? Just trying to get it correct, just saying?

Of course, the 19th century "True Raleighites" may have pronounced it ROLLA.

Raleigh-ites or Raleighans (pronounced sort of like Raelians)?

"Raleigh" is more evidence that the "I before E" rule doesn't always work.

I have been bad, also. I am putting Saturday as my start day. Will report back.

I missed my starting date. Didn't get to walking until today. I determined I needed a purpose for the walk so took some silk flowers up to the cemetary to replace the faded ones on Mom & Dad's grave. Slightly over 3 miles today.

Sounds like a few people need to walk off Brunchgate from yesterday.

Did plenty of walking this weekend...while I was questing for the 'perfect pair of shoes' I picked up a nice pair of walking shoes on sale.

I'd say I'm averaging 3 miles a day - not exactly setting the world on fire but consistent.

After 2 days of travel and then work, I did a nice morning 3.5 miles with Georgia. She should be calm all day... I hope.

Does distance covered during my stress test Friday count toward my total

3 miles a day is pretty impressive.

Depends on how long you walked for your stress test...

It's this Friday - so I'm not sure...could be a ways....my cardiologist is an evil man who wants to make sure what he thinks is 'nothing' is nothing.
