Hi y'all! I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I often mis-type the word 'prayers' as 'parayers' and to me, it sounds right, and I'm a slow typer, so from now on, I'm not going to fret over correcting it, it's going to stand as is, ok? Ok. For what it's worth, you are all in my thoughts and parayers!

And let's not forget that in the South, Parayers is a three syllable word when spoken. I think Bill's spelling is just correcting a social injustice. More power to you Bill.

I believe the phonetic southern spelling would be:

puh-rare-uhs

Sassy--A Tennessee-transplanted, southern-Virginian, now accused of being a "northerner" by my Tennessee relatives because I pronounce the word "puh-rares".
