Taking a Poll
OK this is for everyone EXCEPT those that live locally to where I'm at now. Oh, and those that USED to live here......I want to find out what other folks think, so watch and learn. And You know who you are......
Here goes. I'm gonna spell the name of a town and you tell me how you think it's pronounced. I'll bold the emphasis, and try and spell the choices phonetically.
Genoa.
How would you pronounce that?
JENohwa
or
JenOHwa
I'm just curious what everyone else thinks, cause I keep being told I'm such an oddity for the way I pronounce it.
I'll post the so called "correct" answer in comments this evening.....
Help a girl out, please!!!
