Actually, the true pronunciation was probably somewhere closer to "Rawley". It was rendered this way or in similar fashion on a regular basis.CathyCA wrote:I've been thinking about this, and if Sir Walter's name were spelled "Ralegh," wouldn't we pronounce it "Roliff?"
I wish they kept the original spelling, because I'm always putting that damn "i" in the wrong spot.wilson wrote: 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.
True Raleighites pronounce it "RAW-ley." Those who haven't been there for generations pronounce it simply "RAH-ley."wilson wrote:Actually, the true pronunciation was probably somewhere closer to "Rawley".

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

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.windsor wrote:YmoBeThere wrote: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.
