My Fact-Finding Mission In the Heart of Texas
R. Alex Whitlock
I'm going up to a town called Pflugerville.
Whereas, Pflugerville begins with a PF and in the English (as well as German) language a pf makes for a silent p,
Whereas, the Pflugerville is located in Texas, a bit north of Austin,
Whereas, Texans are notorious for pronouncing things incorrectly, such as debicle for debacle and inchiladis for enchiladas,
Whereas, I have no lyfe (tm),
Resolved, I will go to Pflugerville and investigate as to whether or not they attempt to announce the "P" in front of the town's name (and, for that matter, the "e" at the end and if they keep the "u" as a long sounding vowel). So is it Fleugervill, Fluggervill, PuhFluggervilly, or some variation of the above.
I know you're all just dying to know...

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
