SHAKESPEARE on Pugnax. RRRRuff

[Mark Kohut]

I just heard David and Ben Crystal on that  show that Kurt Anderson syndicates
Thru NPR. The Crystals are a linguist, or maybe both, dunno, and shakespeare scholars who have been bringing to light the original pronunciation of Shakespeare--and getting plays produced that way, etc. 

Well, one of the them said, in OP ( Original Pronunciation) , many words sound closer to their meaning. Take ' war'....it isn't Dogs of war, soft, or waar, so to speak....it is Dogs of WARR (growled) RR, so to speak...

That Pynchon...giving Pugnax those hard RRRs....

This was/is great radio, a great piece.
