"oh" or "ah"
« on: November 19, 2017, 06:57:20 pm »
Okay. I'm almost afraid to ask this question, but I just gotta...

How do you folks pronounce the O in Osage?

Do you say "Oh"sage, or "Ah"sage?

I've always said "Oh"sage, and it sounds so right to me, even if I'm saying it wrong I don't think I'll ever be able to stop. No one even knows what Osage is up here, but the other day I heard someone say "Ah"sage and it got me thinking.  ???

Here in Michigan, it's always Oh. On the other hand I know some Canadians that use Ah - Tomatos, Tomattos   (=). Bob
