In reply to Anyone pronounce creek as 'crick' ?, posted by Kath on October 10, 2009, at 19:11:48
Nope.
I'm trying to remember if I use the word creek at all...
I suppose when I'm saying "up the creek without a paddle."
We don't have creeks, I don't think. Funny word when you think about it.
Pronunciation is a funny thing. There's a town in, I think, northwest Louisiana named Natchitoches. And of course I was familiar with the famous "Nackadish" meat pies. But I was over thirty by time I figured out that they were the same town! My husband still laughs at me.
