That's fair and I agree, but you can learn a lot by Googling it as well:Fair question. Years ago, when I first came across the word (via Uncle Stevie), there was no "Google". I just read the word as it was spelled and moved on. I didn't think much of it until I read Dreamcatcher recently (not sure why). I was going to Google it, but then thought it would be more fun, and probably more informative, if I posted about it in here. If I had just Googled it I wouldn't have known that Downeasters pronounced it differently. So sometimes Google is not always best. Sometimes the forum is best.

I think both ways have their own merits and that a combination of the two is a good way to get a fully rounded education.
