I never even questioned how it is sounded. I wouldn't say it is PRONOUNCED, as much as hooted.

I am getting my Southern speak lessons from the show we watch on pay TV. On the show Moonshiners we get ve-hicles.

On a logging show down south we get boo-ees.

and some other things on a show called Rat B------s.

DH is getting the accent perfected in case we win lotto and can visit there.

Looks like the tornadoes will be north of us today so we got an early start and are in OK heading west and hoping to be far enough west to miss the 50/50 chance of tornadoes in OK City tomorrow. According to the weather channel this could be a very scary, destructive, and possibly deadly day for a lot of people. I grew up in IL where we had tornado warnings all the time so never worried about tornadoes but I have gained much more respect for them in recent years.
