What is the correct TEXAS way to say Burnet?

[Moonpie]

Is it pronounced Burr - Net or Burnit(one word)

 

[Dawico]

Burnit.

When I moved to the City of Burnet 7 years ago I got laughed at for saying it like Bur net they like Burn it in one word.

Burn'it

The 'one-syllable' pronunciation also helps us remember it's not Burnett or Burnette. Just be glad it's not French...."Buhr-NAY"

Guadalupe is still up for discussion, however

Burn it.

And Perd-a-nal-es.

And Man-shack.

I was on a job in Burleson years ago and mentioned something to a local about going to nearby Joshua, pronouncing it, well, like Joshua. I was told in no uncertain terms that it was pronounced "Joshu-WAY" and if I said "Joshua" everybody would know I wasn't from around there. As if the fact that they didn't recognize me wasn't clue enough. Oh well.

And I've been given the local skinny on "Andice"...properly pronounced AN-diss rather than An-DICE.

Oh, the trouble caused by Mueller...pronounced differently by members of the same familiy!!!

Welcome to Texas, y'all!!!!

You mean Gua-duh-loop isn't correct?

Salado

For the new comers. It's pronounced, Salad-O. The salad bowl capital of Texas. First place in regional salad tossing.
