That is exactly what I thought, too, when I saw the subject line...that Jerry was going to ask how to pronounce the word, "oops."

Great Minds Think Alike!

I imagine that you in Massachusetts might pronounce "oops" differently than we do here in Ohio.

Hey, maybe Jim can set up some audio files or something, and send us all something and we can all pronounce the word, "oops," and we can listen to how everyone says the word.

That should take a lot of time for Jim and the rest of us.
