Hi, Roger, when Sam Yorty was mayor, he pronounced the name of the city with
a hard G. I prefer the soft one myself. However I have no plans of using the
entire name which is (approx.) El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora, Reina de Los
Angeles. Just try putting that on one line. Regards, Kim.

As a Spanish word I knew that it was pronounced with that semi H sound, but
as an English word I have never heard it pronounced any way other than with
a soft G. In fact, that semi H sound is the Spanish form of a soft G.

Technically, Los Angeles should be pronounced Los Anheles, since it is
Spanish the g is breathed rather than actually pronounced; (likewise, I've
learned, Guacamole). However, inEnglish, acvcording to the pronunciation
rules we used to teach the kids, when g and c are followed by e or i, they
are soft--sLos Angeles is correct and your newcasters were ispronouncing the
city. That's why some words, like guest, have a u between the g and e Cindy

Hi Jamie. I was taught that cookie should be spelled
cooky in my home economics classes in the 70s. It's also spelled that way in
a
lot of older cookbooks from the 40s through the mid 70s. I was puzzled
when I noticed the change in spelling in books starting in the early 80s. It
changed quickly, sort of like the pronunciation of Los Angeles which used to
be
pronounced with a hard g sound by both radio announcers and government
officials
in the 30s and 40s. Our language really is a living, breathing one that
handles
changes well.

Hi Jamie, it will be an easy proof. There are some unusual words in it,
like they say:
"We
never would have got
the lights unsnangled if it hadn't been for him."
And
unsnangled is kind of weird you know.
And
later they say maybe they can unSTRANGLE them instead of unsnangle
them.
And
one time so far they call a deli a delly.
And
a cooky sheet.
And
one time they call it a stero instead of stereo so far.
And
a torn legament instead of a ligament.
That's
what I've found so far. Other than the strange words I think you'll have an
easy
time proofreading so when it's ready I'll put hold for Jamie P.--
