Let me sit and eat this orange I sprained my knee, now it's a sore hinge.
This, and all the previous postings on the subject, tell me just how far off I am in *my* pronounciation... :) "Mange", I never had a reason to utter, but a "mangy" animal (usually a dog, but not always) gets discussed at regular intervals, and it's not pronounced as "m-ein-gy"; it's more like "m-angh-y"... And I'm *not* going to drop my "ohr-einge", either; I learnt them both from my (Norfolk, VA) WASP DH. He *says* that's the superiour pronounciation, just like saying "ou" (instead of "au") in "house". Being a know-nothing Polack, I have no choice but to accept his dictum (on *this* matter, anyway <g>), *however much* I may love "door-hinge" (rhythm problem there too, unless you skip *both* "d" of "door", *and* go Cockney on the"h" o "hinge")... And how do y'all say "StoneHENGE"?
