Billy Joe Fudge comments on proper spelling Comments re article 43376 Copter at CAC International was on military maneuvers too Billy Joe Fudge writes: That's "Breedintown."Billy Joe FudgeThanks. A very good point. We know you are right in the way it's said. We gave the idea some thought. However, please understand that the misspelling was not a matter of pure dumb ignorance, but was done out of respect for one of the greatest of all Adair County names. After all, if it hadn't been for the Breedings, where would Wayne Co., KY, banking be today?( Of course Monticello's banking business was also built by the Breeding's rivals, the Bakers - who, incidentally, were also from Adair County.) To me, there is something kindred in how great family names of Adair County - which in the 1950s were pronounced in abysmally derisive slurs - to the Civil Rights movement. It's been empowering for the families whose family names are now pronounced the way they were in the old countries. So forgive us if we try to be strictly politically correct on family names. From a standpoint of scholarship, however, I wonder if it wouldn't be good to document the denigrating pronunciation of family name over the last century, and the subsequent restoration to a more glorified, more traditional and respectful use. -EW This story was posted on 2011-03-30 04:07:53
