While we're at it, creek vs crick?

Both pronouciations are considered correct.... that from an english professoer I once had. One version is more popular in the south and the other in the north.Quote:

Yeah, agree with Ice.
Creek vs Crick: I say creek and I think the duke boys would say crick. :haha:
