who really cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pretty stupid to be talking about it! should be talking about better things! cheers!!!!!


I care. If someone writes a letter to a newspaper or gov't official, they should spell Acadia properly. If anyone is pronouncing it with an "r", they would look foolish if interviewed by the media.


I am not a spelling fascist, etc. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Arcadia is a common mispronunciation of Acadia. I still smile when the tourist up here ask what they should do in Arcadia.

Do not think I am picking on anyone on these boards. I admire everyone here and am glad this forum exists.
