A (dumb) Question on Pronunciation |
|
|
Posted by Alargule on Sat Sep 2 07:52:26 2006 Here's a potentially dumb question on pronunciation of subway route designations - but keep in mind that I'm a foreigner born in 1981...How were the double-letter routes actually pronounced? Was 'GG' pronounced 'double G' or 'Gee-Gee'? Or was this double lettering considered obsolete on 'unique' lines, like the GG or LL, and were they just pronounced as 'G' and 'L' for brevity's sake? Anyone here who can shed some light on this? |
