The shark attack here happened at SolanA Beach, not SolanO. (So-LAH-na.) I’ve heard this repeatedly now. I do realize I’m being nitpicky and anal and ridiculous, but it bugs me. Please remedy so I can stop being nitpicky and anal and ridiculous. At least about this.
As you were. (Except for fixing that.)
*giggle*
This kind of thing drives me nutty too! I wonder if they even bother to do their research?
Of course, I’m a total hypocrite, because when we moved to South Florida I pronounced the Raton of Boca Raton to rhyme with baton when really it’s pronounced ra-tone.
Who knew?
Maybe they think the “o” sounds sadder.
(I don’t mean to make light of it, but you gotta wonder.)
Jeannine — Yeah, I didn’t know that for a long time either.
Kate P — Like “SolanOHHH?” Well, It IS sadder.
