Hmm, I thought that only happened here in Chattanooga.
(The sad part is, it really happened.)

But they recently became the Times Free Press, which may or may not be an
improvement.  (I forget, since I dont subscribe, whether they were brave
enough
to hyphenate it or not.)

....off-topic, must do penance... rough, horribly rough Ibran follows...

Hein, criye qui l'avenei solmient ici dent Chattanooga. [Tciàtånougå]
(le trît part es, l'avenei di vere.)

Meis les deveneiront le Times Free Press [Tjeupes/Livre Presse], qui es tras
crétinouse.  (Pah!  Yeu vui a dormijr.)


...Need lots of study.  'devenijr' I can see, but the entire conjugation of
'vui' I am not sure of at all yet, and dont have time for before bed.

And when I see 'tempus' become 'tjeup' --/C_v&/p/ at best, [1] but in the most
vulgar of mouths, namely mine & the NRC accent, becoming [ZEf]-- I cry real
tears... Oh dearie me...

    *Muke!
[1] so you dont have to look it up, that's /C_v/ "voiceless palatal fricative,
with voicing" and /&// "either mid front rounded vowel, /2/ or /9/"
