Another goodun, Rich. 'Cept, if I WERE to say the words spelled, "w h a t k i n d," I REALLY WOULD say, "What kind?" Oddly, I don't have the typical southern accent - 'not odd to me, though, I've always (since 13 or 14 or so) tried to enunciate properly and pronounce consonants, etc. People I met while in the Air Force were always surprised to learn that I'm from NC. I DO know how to say, "Chahlstn," and such when appropriate, though. ;<))))))))))
