I liked the very first podcast and really look forward to the ensuing issues!
I laughed at the discussion regarding the proper pronunciation of the words Poinsettia and Apricot. My family is from the south and I've always pronounced Poinsettia with a silent i (Poinsetta), and Apricot as App-ri-cot ... but one of my sisters pronounces it A-pri-cot like Trish does.
That discussion got me to thinking so I decided to google. I landed on the Merriam-Webster site which shows Poinsettia pronounced (Poin sett ia), and the word Apricot as App ri cot. So, it looks like Trish was correct with her way of saying Poinsettia and Dave was right with his way of saying Apricot. LOL ... I really think we are all correct though ... different accents and dialects are what make us all such a wonderful, fun and diverse group.
My holiday cactus are still blooming away which gives some cheer on this gray, dreary and chilly (59ºF) day, but we are due for some much needed rain the next couple of days so I won't complain.
Happy New Year everyone!
