    Okay folks, I finally checked everyone though every week in the Contest Forum (well, those I had missing entries for, anyway). I'm happy to say that many missing entries were due to my eyes missing the posts.

    These are the members for whom I am still missing some entries.

    @j5cochran - Week 11 (11/21/22)

    @labresq - Week 17 (1/2/23) and Week 18 (1/9/23)

    @Mindthinkr - Week 15 (12/19/22), Week 32 (4/17/23), Week 33 (4/24/23), and Week 35 (5/8/23) - these were previously noted, but included here so you can all respond to the same post.

    If you don't remember, check J! Archive Season 39 to see if you can get them.

    Once I have all the data, I will start working on the statistics. Thanks!

    One more thing. Four of our contestants dropped out during the season. They are:

    @Ailianna, @Fex (late in the season), @GrannySmith, and @Welshman in Ca.

    Hope to see you in the next contest!

    I was away for two weeks in May and couldn’t catch up. Next season!

    One of my peeves is when people quote someone and don’t include the name of the person they are quoting. Now that I have that out of the way……this post accompanied pictures Mykelti took, I’m including one for context.

    I was on that corner today. Still haven’t seen them.

    Cool! 😎 
    Do you frequently hear others say Sha-LOT instead of Shar-LOT?

     

    And can you recommend a plumber and a local HVAC person?

    I’m in Canandaigua, and Charlotte St. here is pronounced Sha Lot by just about everybody. We had good luck with AP Plumbing when a pipe burst last year.

    I currently live in Greece, across the road from the "neighborhood" of Charlotte (shar-LOT) in Rochester NY:

    And I just found this: 

    But I've yet to hear that pronunciation.

    20 miles south there's the Rochester neighborhood of Chili, pronounced: CHAI-lai

    On Reddit there's a discussion about the Inland North America Vowel Shift (reddit.com/r/Rochester/comments/7318s5/til_how_to_know_someone_is_from_rochester/   see also:  wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Northern_American_English#Northern_Cities_Vowel_Shift).

    I might read it later.

     

    Older Rochester area resident here, and it’s Sha Lot to me.
