Word of the Day - Crick: Pittsburgh, PA

The crick pronunciation might be used in Pittsburgh, but it certainly isn't unique to the Steel City. Growing up in La Crosse, WI, I noticed older residents saying "crick" instead of "creek". It would be interesting to figure out where people say "crick" vs. "creek". That will have to be our next project.

Until tomorrow,
