Of course, here in Texas it would be rodeo. I guess I'm becoming a Texan slower than I hoped...and I'm clearly not quite there yet. I'll have it be known that I've never actually been to a rodeo so that is on my to-do list. I've only seen them on television or heard about them through friends. I'm not trying to make excuses but maybe after I go to a rodeo, I won't mess up saying the word again. ; ) So to my fellow Texans, please forgive me for my mess-up!
Here's a picture from today's Reading Rodeo (I swear I said it right in my head this time).
This was a group of kindergartners that I read to. Such a great class. We had lots of fun reading Halloween stories and then they shared all of their costumes with me! Such fun!
Yes, I heard that pronunciation and said to myself, "That's the 'L.A.' version, but going back and checking Webster's New World Dictionary, one finds that either version is correct: ro-DEE-oh AND ro-DAY-oh. I enjoy watching you, Brittany. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteGood to know...but now that Texas is my home, it wouldn't hurt to say ro-DEE-oh! : ) Thanks for watching!
