| How do you say it? An earlier conversation with a friend brought this question to mind. How do you say "Yorkshire"? York Shire, kind of seperated, or Yorkshure, one word with the "i" sounding like a"u"?

| No, I don't say Dawg... I'm originally from IL, been down here though for 22 years and would never go back..and, the correct puninciation of it is York·shire (yôrk′s̸hir) so, does this mean we're all wrong? |
