| My local noncommercial radio station has been running short promotional
ads
| for Mason & Dixon recently, during which I notice that the announcer
| pronounces the name Thomas pin-CHOWN. I have always pronounced the name
| Thomas PINCH-en.

|I'm in this group.
Ed Asner had a boss on his newspaper show--was it the "Lou Grant"
show?--whom he called Pinch-ON.
