Enjoyed reading these! They reminded me of some that I'd forgotten like "elastic". Similar to your ruf (for roof), I know someone who used to pronounce room more like rum. That made me laugh!
Oh did this make me laugh, living in the NE and originating from the west, I was often teased about Ruf - and there were a few more - I will have to think?? Clam strip/belly - know that one well and of course with DH being from Maine, there are lots of R problems ;-)
Yes! The Rs. They are inserted in odd places and not used in other places. Huss is one. Someone was telling my husband they were going to a huss show. It was a horse show.
I have a friend named Lisa and so asked her if, as a kid, she wanted to spell her name Liser. She said no. She always knew it didn't have an R.
Now I have taken to referring to where I work as Auguster...
Since graduating from college I've kept track of all the books I've read. The ink on the earlier entries is starting to fade so I was glad to find a place to make it electronic. Library Thing saved me a lot of typing and I can download the list any time to my own computer for sorting and whatnot.
