[Sca-cooks] Wine names

[Wanda Pease]

Why, particularly, do you think that Americans should be able to pronounce a
word they rarely, if ever hear?  If it is not spelled in American English
the way it is pronounced, why do you think it should be obvious and required
to pronounce it as some other language does?

Who has to suffer through east coast pronunciations of Ora gone, and Will ha
met, instead of Ore E Gun, and Will am ette  :-)

Americans are generally dopey. Those who know, of course, say "Syrah"... but
most American labels SPELL it "Syrah" for the damnfools who don't know
better.
