[78-L] Deep Ellum Blues^

[martha]

nooz is fine, according to the dictionary and most people I've ever heard. So is 
pomm.
'nee-ooz' sounds like an affectation to me, unless the speaker is not US American.

My family came from "CarNAYgie", PA,  where "fill-um" was the norm! Always 
"automobile", too - never "car".

And why do both the outgoing & incoming Presidents have trouble with 'z' at the end 
of words? Usually they use "sss" : jobsss , ideasss, etc.  That and dumbin' down the 
endin' to most "-ing" wordsss shouldn't be done by people from Ivy League colleges. 
Collegesss, pardon me.  :)
