Thank you, it's also a time capsule preserving the "hw" pronunciation of whale. (Which seems to be slowly disappearing.)

- finnh 6y agoWeirdly my elementary-school-age kids were taught in kindergarten that "wh" is a separate sound from "w", and that the received pronunciation is "hw". That's in Seattle, where al of nobody does the "hw" thing. So that was a surprise to find in their little takehome pages. I'm guessing those handouts were first xerox'd 40 years ago...
