Hey now... I'm from Wisconsin and I don't allow "gory" and "sorry" to rhyme.
But then again-- I'm from southern Wisconsin-- Ripon is a bit north--
nothing like people from Superior/Duluth to have a good laugh. ;) My
boyfriend lives there now and everyone has the most horrible accents--
luckily he only sounds like Fargo when he tries. ;)
Someone in one of my classes the other day said to me... "God-- I'm so
hungry-- I could really go for some *FEUD* (pronounced: fyewd)" It took
me a few minuted to realize what he meant was *FOOD*.
He's from Illinois. Which Illinois people pronounce "EL-INOIS"-- and that's
just wrong. ;)

No way! That is how an American would say it. how on earth gory, glory and
sorry can rhyme
I have no clue! Sorry has a short o and gory/glory a long. The fist part of
sorry does not
sound like saw.
