So, I was watching TV, which isn't exactly a huge revelation. I do a lot of that. Well anyway, one of these chicken sandwich commercials comes on, the one with the "cheating on the cow" thing. I think it's for Burger King. Anyway, one of them takes place at a motel call something-shire. And it got me to thinking...
You know how in those cases, the "shire" is usually pronounced "sure?" But by itself, it's "shy-er."
Okay, it's not that weird, but yet again, another weird quirk of English. I wonder if Frodo and company would have been so eager to get back there if it were called The Sure.
