Correct way to say Vallejo

[kansas kid]

The Heartland Hedge from Hell. . . Arrrrrrrrgh

Aw Steve ver rino:

Arrrrrrrrrrgh. . . To quote Charlie Brown in the old newspaper cominc strip
"Peanuts"!!

That dirty bricka brack blasted Ratchfratchin' front yard
Hedge. . . I'm still at it, mate. And now it is dealing with all the limbs that
were cut off. . . How much time have you got? . . . No, I won't bore you and
the Planeteers with that. But some of the limbs are over an inch and a 'haff
in diameter. Uh huh. That durn burned hedge is making me really feel old.

I won't go into how some pronounce the airbrush that is made in France! But
it is rather Heartland . . . ah . . . "quaint"?

So Reed dee is the way to say it. But of course, I already knew that. Iffin'
you were Smith you could get all your horse shoes for nuttin. . . or if you
were Cooper you could make all my beer barrels at a cut rate price??
Wall, . . . Could be??



Take care my friend,

Whatever, it's better than the "F word."

I have called all paints the F word many times

[kansas kid]

Ah Pete. . . Clever. . . Ha haa

Aw Pete. . . Clever. . . very funny. So the spirit of the old radio show
"Can You Top This?" is still alive and well, here with the Planeteer group.

Great. . . I love it.

As a Canadian living in California I pronounce it val-EH!-oh....but we stick EH! everywhere...as in, "would you like a beer, EH?!"

I also live just down the road from Vallejo California, and they pronounce it val-eh-oh too, so I feel right at home here.

 

[Bluesking]

Why not just point and say "I want that paint" Works for me

Ethan and Joel Coen, the Brothers, eh?

OK, . . . eh? Hello to MartinMack in Gold Rush Country. It was years ago, . .
when I saw one of the Coen Brothers films called Fargo that I
understood about "eh?" . . . I guess in North Dakota a lot of their citizens
came from Canada, eh? But I got a big kick out of it. That film is so grizzly
and cold blooded, yet so funny at the same time. Good to hear your take
on how we Yankees deal with Spanish.

BluesKing, . . . hey it woiks fer me. The index finger can do the talkin'
and thanks for chiming in on this topic.

OhMa'Gosh Pete: is my face read. . . where that name David came from I

broadsword. I apologize. . . so much for my understanding of my forebears
history.

Oh geeeeeeeeee. eh?

I just put it down to a senior moment. Or fatigue, due to your on going battle with the hedge.

Been "trying" to learn Spanish for the past year or so and according to what I was taught it should sound something like this;

VAHEYO where the double ll is pronounced h and the j pronounced y.

That's my 2 cents worth and the end of your Spanish lesson for today folks

 

[Levid]

Well, this is the right pronunciation in spanish:

http://translate.google.es/#es|es|Vallejo

Press the button to the left of the word "Vallejo" and hear it

Cheers

 

[kansas kid]

Thanks Giorgio. . . I was kind of you to post, and good luck with you
lesson in Spanish.

Hello David, from Madrid:

I went to the site, and thank you for posting it for me. . . and hearing
the word said in Spanish confirms it. That is just how one of
the other Planeteers explained it with phonetic spelling.

Now, when I go to my local club meeting, . . . I'll have to be careful
not to act and sound like a "know it all". . . hee hee. using the V word. . .

Bah yeh ho or oh,

thanks again, Jaybird

Oxford = OX-fud
Auburn = AWE-bin
Eastham = EAST-HAM
Chatham = CHAT-um
Orleans = OAR-leans
Boston = BOSS-tin
Marlborough= MARL-bro
Vallejo = vuh-LAY-ho

 

[Diegoff]

Supose that CLINTON- CLI-in is a Star Trek character...

 

[kansas kid]

Hi Al:

Thanks for the additions of speak patterns. Kinda reminds me of Rex
Harrison as Professor Higgins. . . Col. Pickering I presume. . . I washed ma'
face and hand before ah come, ah did. . .

And have a great day Diegoff. . . Wow, the response to this thread is quite
astounding . . . Who would have thunk the V word would bring all this on.

Funny!!!!
