Long u! A lot of people don't know that. [/quote]

[b]Tufts is pronounced Toofts. Not many people know that![/b][/quote]

I hope you are joking.  I went to Harvard and spent 7 years in Boston and never once heard that pronunciation.  So I checked.  No, it's like a cat's tufts (of fur).  https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+prounounce+tufts+university&oq=how+to+prounounce+tufts+university&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i13j69i61j69i60.5230j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8[/quote][/quote]

LOL. For a Harvard grad your ability to discern sarcasm is nil.

But no, trust me, it's really pronounced Toofts. It's a shibboleth for Boston Brahmins in the same way that pronouncing finance as "fin-ants" denotes you as belonging to a specific class of people.

It's Toofts. Remember this![/quote]

Hilarious.  I think the Harvard grad was joking, too, btw ...[/quote]
