I didn't think of PLUGH. I just pronounce that "ploo". Anybody here ever figure out what to do with "Hello, sailor!"? I never did, but a friend of mine told me where it's valid.
(Oh, "5-syllable pronunciation"! I get it now!) --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Keep them watching their own minds and trying to produce ~feelings~ there by the action of their own wills. When they meant to ask Him for charity, let them, instead, start trying to manufacture charitable feelings for themselves and not notice that this is what they are doing. When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave. When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them be trying to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by their success in producing the desired feeling; and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment. -advice to a tempter from The Screwtape Letters by C S Lewis */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of David L. Craig Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2023 11:42 The only way I could ever get it to work was to spell it out, so I've always pronounced it ex-why-zee-zee-why. Plugh also had to be spelled out, but it's pronunciation was much less enigmatic. --- On 23Aug27:0159-0400, David Cole wrote: > For 50 years, I've always used the five syllable pronunciation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
