Lyn, the way you phonetically spelled it sounds correct when I hear it in my head (I hear it said with a Scottish burr). The people on TV were elongating the word with a long "O" - Edinbur-oh. Thanks for the insight! |

I cant believe it, but the older genaration are the worst. They seem to think that only the young should say please and thank you. |
