Merri Lisa,



My students often spell it that way because it is pronounced like

that here (and in other western states I've lived in). They

have a hard time finding the correct spelling in dictionaries.

I pronounce "ornery" with three syllables AND I pronounce both r's. I

don't understand how it is that I've seen it spelled "awnry" which I

assume is another pronunciation of the same word. Has anyone else seen

this spelling? Or have other info.?
