February 10, 2009The Bossy RWhen you were learning to read, did you ever learn about "The Bossy R"? R-controlled vowels in words like "car" or "butter" have a special sound. In Philadelphia, there wasn't a lot of emphasis on how to pronounce a "bossy r", but when we moved to Boston, the kids got a lot of school time on how to pronounce those R's. Maybe the Boston schools are trying to eliminate the Boston accent? Posted by David at February 10, 2009 07:16 AMComments
