[Opinions] Re: Leonore / Lenore
I didnt know that link was there. I did listen to it, though here, I dont think that you would be able to get someone to prn it like that. I know for sure that they would prn it with a Californian twist just like Lenore. Also, what prompted this post was the movie Hollywoodland in which George Reeve's fiance is Leonore Lemmon (also credited as Lenore Lemmon) and she prn it leh-NOR. -Tate

Ahhh...I've never seen Hollywoodland. I must rent it then. :)Strange how Leonore is pronounced as though it is interchangable with Lenore. Must be a kind of Americanisation, like the Spanish Angel being pronounced like the heavenly beings.I love discussing phonology, especially in regards to regional accents and pronuncations. :) Name phonology is even better, lol.
