sorry, should've proofed my last note better:



(strangely, though, we lost the [ae] in some places like _father_ and

to say _that_ with the "twang" sounds scottish. or kennedyesque.)



the "that" is erroneously "underlined". to say _father_ with an [ae]

sounds scottish. (of course you say _that_ with an [ae]--at least

most of us do.)



sorry,

lynne
