I like the ride, but

[fbb]

that’s not the right way to say ‘hooves’. Or if it is the right way, it shouldn’t be.

 

[Alesia]

What?

 

[winnieofpooh]

What ride are you talking about?

 

[AngiTN]

Huh? I think you left the important parts of your thought out
Like the subject

I think it’s Living with the Land when the narrator talks about the “hooves of the mighty buffalo.”

He pronounces it like “hoovz” instead of “huvz.” I’ve noticed this before

In my neck of the woods we pronounce it “hoovz”.
But we also stick random u’s in a lot of our favourite words too.

I was wondering if it’s regional! It’s not a word I hear a lot in general but definitely “huvz” here.

And I’ve only noticed it before because I love LwtL and when I’m having a bad day I watch ride POV videos from it - it’s so calming! I know the narrator’s part practically by heart.

Me too!
So soothing.
I’ve even converted the narration into an MP3 so I can listen in the car.
