Pronunciation can be very important to a body understanding what's being said - it took me a minute the other day to figure out what city in California the CNN commentator was talking about when she said "La-Jolla". Should have been "LaHoya"!

I remember my old boss cracking up when I said a client from "La Jolla" was on the phone!!

There's a certain irony in an off topic post inviting us to bring the discussion back on topic

Staying on topic - I love Mexican food, I'm very glad the American I am married to has heard of it ...

My long gone uncle used to like to tell of one of his embarrassing moments while he was in the Navy during WWII & stationed in CA. He was told to take the bus to "LaHoya" in order to be at the base on time. He waited for 4+ hours watching buses go by, none of which were labeled LaHoya......the closest he could come to it was one going to "La Jolla" - he finally gave up and walked to wherever it was he was supposed to be. Apparently it took him several hours to get there, he was late and ended up on KP duty for 3 days or so!

Well that and the fact that if we do not the Mods will force us to get back on topic by getting mad at us and then they will start deleting our off topic posts.

Well I did have a post deleted once when I first stated posting on BE because it was completely off topic. But it was on the US Immigration and Visas section of the USA Forum where off topic comments are not allowed.

But then you are just going to say something against me so this is a useless post anyway.
