 @a6ff0b2b Further evasion.

I'm on Underscore's transcript site right this minute, and I WILL uncover your lies.

So, in my dialect and hearing, I hear John saying seh ruh KEW suh. Practically as everyone pronounces it anyway, EXCEPT he is not using a short i sound in the first syllable, but something more like a short e. EVERYONE says sih ruh KEW suh. He rolls with it. Que sera sera, shirt e.

I am from Tinnassee. We say pin and pincil, not pehn and pehncil.
