No Doris, it is prounced like the card game: Whist. Now add an "a" WHISTA. People usually go on to study the English language to get the correct prounciation of different words. My father always corrected me. He said we "had" to speak the Queen's English. Maureen, with the Boston accent. ----- Original Message ----- From: <dmcglone@juno.com> To: <WHITNEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 21, 2001 3:56 AM Subject: [WHITNEY-L] Re: WHITNEY-D Digest V01 #14 > I think you Wus-ta people had a real hard time with spelling in school. > ;-) > > Doris > dmcglone@juno.com > >
