Hello!
- Thread starter Gen.Confusion
- Start date
Welcome aboard from central North Carolina. I grew up in your part of the world, a near northwest suburb of Chicago on the commuter rail line to downtown. I commuted my first two years of college to what is now University of Illinois Chicago, which was a satellite to Champaign Urbana when I was there, and my first year was located on Navy Pier, a literal freight pier in Lake Michigan.
Welcome! I grew up in Livingston Co, Illinois, not too far from Indiana.
But seeing "hunnert" popped up a memory of my old Dad, who died 50 years ago: It drove him mad! He was an English major, and that pronunciation (common enough in the Midwest) set him afire! One hundred, he would correct.

Howdy and welcome from Korea.
Sounds like you've got yourself a good head o' pipes and a darn decent cellar too.
