UGH!!!
I always wondered about the "crick" pronunciation....
I had to get directions to a friends house here. She told me that once I got into the village, take a left at the church. I'll pass a tire swing, then 2 Boonie Dogs....sure enough, there was the tire swing AND the dogs! lol
But, I have done the same thing giving people directions. Tell them to go past so and so's house, then make a turn at the big intersection...well, the intersection probably looked small to most people, but it was the biggest in the town. lol
Isn't it funny how we do things and perceive things?
