Yes, there really is a Louisville, Tennessee

About: Telefund raises nearly $18,000 for scholarships

Ed,

When I saw Louisville, Tennessee, I did some checking. I have a friend who lived there for several years and I visited him there. Louisville, Tennessee, is a very small place of 2,000 or a little more. As I recall, they pronounce the "s" (LOO-ez-vil).

Thanks, Mr. Stone. Interesting note from the wonderful, but strange way of talking state of Tennessee. I'd bet they even make three syllables out of Leb-a-non, TN, when two will do. Properly mumbled in Adair County, KY, it is "Lebnan." Nothing particularly wrong with y'all's speech, but it does seem a shame when ne think of the wasted calories used enunciating every single syllable whether it's needed or. I'm also sure that the great smooth plump cheeked beauty we Kentuckians have is partly due to the economy of our speech, with due respect to our habit of eating light bread. Both reduce the vulgar cordoroying of cheeks from overwrought masseter muscles. -EW
