You say Shibboleth, I say Sibboleth

Pronunciations are important. I am having a blast reading through the book of Judges for my LTG reading. Maybe I am sadistic, but I find the story in Judges 12 particularly amusing. If you're curious, read Judges 12:1-6.

Lesson learned: "hooked on phonics" is worth every penny

Haha good stuff, Russ. A favorite in our LTG comes from 2 Kings 2:23-25 where the kids make fun of Elisha because of his bald head.. and he curses them and two she bears came and "jacked up" 42 of them.

I'm glad I don't have an accent. Especially one from East Texas (those of you who know me can hear me saying it now...with a bit of a drawl).
