My parents (Fergus Falls MN, Northern Iowa) said 'bedroom /swit/' as did

their friends, most of whom had high school, or less, education.

Northern MMontana to Central Washington State, always /swit/. I remember

the first time I heard /sut/ from some 'country people' who moved into

the neighborhood. I thought at the time it was marked form, though of

course I had no label. I think they were from someplace "way South,"

which to my group meant, perhaps, Oklahoma.

Cheers,
