well, to be fair, I did graduate with an English major, but I have no authoritae here at work to consult as to the proper pronunciation of "ction."

 

I was actually poking fun (or trying to) of the fact that there seem to be very few hard and fast rules of English grammar and/or pronunciation anymore, as they have become viewed as racist, or sexist, or some kind of "ist."

If you're talking about Iowa City, don't let that hold you back. I love that town. Yeah, it's a bit out of the way, but it's a good place. Not too far from Chicago when you need an escape ... and Gabe's Oasis brings in some pretty good bands.

 

gabe's is closed now. :no

....

LA: Hormel...

LA: Hormel...

LA: Hormel Chili

 

 

what was the leasing agent doing in your apartment?
