I was just sitting here trying to figure out if I pronounce the words raw and rah differently! I don't think I do. If someone walked in on me, they'd probably think I was crazy.

We have Creedmoor. Often mispelled as Creedmore .
HAHA. I forgot about Pfafftown. That is always a doozy. Much easier to pronounce when not reading it  .Last edited by autumngal; 02-08-2008 at 07:27 AM. Reason: typo, lol
