I have been pronouncing it wrong all these years. I have always said > "van-ah-gone" as in the doctor tells you to open up and say ahhhhh - but if > the last part of the word is wagon, then it would be correctly said > "van-eh-gone" as is most Canadian's favourite word... eh! - I knew there > was a Canadian connection somewhere! :-) |
