paduak = puh - duke'

puyallup = pew - al' - up


but can you pronounce Sequim, WA, Reading, MA, or Worcester, MA correctly?

I just pronounce it WEENGE as in Jeans, I figure nobody I talk to even knows theres even a wood type called Wenge anyway, so no worry of contradiction or any of that, ....and I don't have to say "when gay" and sound like I have some kind of second life going on the side....hahahahaha......no offense to anyone I hope, (after all I do live in Seattle).....does that make me homophobic......ahahahahaha.... :laughing7:

no jay sound, no gay sound, now ji sound, no brown sound, no white noise.
