pronunciation

"pronounced /ˈliːstɑː/" - really? "LEE-staa"? Can we get a reference for that? Lfh (talk) 12:10, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I seriously doubt we can get any such thing. It's "LESS-taa" or "LESS-ter". Fixed. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 12:58, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. "LESS-taa" looks strange to me too - it puts me in mind of Mayor Quimby - but I believe you. Stranger things have happened! Lfh (talk) 13:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Quimby's accent is voiced after the late Ted Kennedy, whose brother Jack brought his own Massachusetts accent to national TV here in the US in the early sixties. Not all varieties of Massachusetts English drop final R's like that, but enough do so that it is a stereotype, considered ermm distinctive in other parts. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 19:09, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
