AllenLowe Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) awright - so as part of my job I had to call someone to confirm their address - and they live in a town in Pennsylvania that is spelled: Lititz how would you say this? Edited January 5, 2010 by AllenLowe Quote
Brad Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I would break it up into two syllables: Lit-itz. I think one of our members (not sure if he posts any longer) Woodymaggie hails from there. Quote
Niko Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 could be german... if it is than it's a bit difficult to describe... sounds are as in "lee-teets" but both "ee" are short like the "y" in syllable... (ie, i would not break the word in the middle, rather speak it fast so that it rhymes with a quick "Brad wins")... hope this helps... Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Posted January 5, 2010 no matter what I say, I'm gonna get a slap in the face - Quote

Alexander Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 "It's spelled Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but it's pronounced "Throat-Warbler-Mangrove."" Quote
Van Basten II Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 It's pronounced, we'll go to the next town instead. Quote

You saw through me It's pronounced, we'll go to the next town instead. What if the next town is Villingen-Schwenningen? Quote
papsrus Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 according to Wiki: Lititz (pronounced /lɪ.tɪts/}) .. which I guess is lie-tights? Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Posted January 6, 2010 I thought it was French, for "the boobs." Quote
PHILLYQ Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 They have a wonderful pretzel factory in Lititz(lit its), and it's not that far from Intercourse, PA. Quote

Shrdlu Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 A slap in the face just for that? By the way, it's obviously, not maybe, a German name. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 "It's spelled Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but it's pronounced "Throat-Warbler-Mangrove."" Ah yes, but it's spelled Hen3ry. Quote
