    Listen to Mary pronounce it. She can also probably make "world" and "Earl" rhyme like the Dixie Chicks.

    P.S. Yankee. :D

    Why would I do that? She mispronounces "coyote".

    I don't recommend calling the English that.

    How on earth would you pronounce them so they don't rhyme? :confused:
    (okay, except that Earl isn't Earled, but you know what I mean)

    I don't know. I also think there's nothing wrong with your pronounciation of "coyote". There's a silent "e" on the end. How else are you going to say it?

    Like the first pronunciation given here, here, here, or here (and the only audio one provided on the last one). Like how the actor Peter Coyote pronounces his name. Or Wile E. Coyote pronounces his.

    All of those also list the correct pronunciation, that is, the one with a silent "e".

    Peter Coyote wouldn't know a coyote if it bit him in the ass, given that he's was born Peter Cohon in New York City.

    And Wile E. Coyote is a pseudonym, and deliberately misleading.

    They list it second, because it's a marginal pronunciation that only a minority of the population use -- a minority that usually also pronounces the word "there" as "thar" and "nuclear" as "nukular."


    Misleading? Are you kidding? He's a supergenius.

    Dejan and Milos will give their game jerseys to people that win them in raffle. So if you do you'll get them after the Columbus match.

    You can add 2 game worn sweaty jerseys to the list :)

    So if those of us that can't be present to win, can we paypal someone to buy a set of tickets for us? Obviously the jerseys, banana pudding (regretfully), and Pops would not be available to win, but if so, could we pay for other prizes to be shipped to us? I wanna play.
