Clay and I were watching Jeopardy on Friday and one of the categories was Silent L. The answers (technically, the questions) were all words that contained a silent L. Simple enough, right?
Wrong.
I learned that the southern pronunciation of many words pronounces that L loud and clear! Clay and I couldn't answer the majority of the questions because the words we had in mind did not, in our minds, have a silent L. I'll test you on the ones we missed.I don't remember the actual questions. I'll just give the word. Read the word quickly and out loud. See if you have been mispronouncing them too.
