[Prov1322]

Sort of like the way many Fluffyans pronounce the name of the Acme grocery store: “ACK-a-mee.”

Just can't wipe the Big Wide Grin off my face from seeing this and remembering my grandmother asking me to go to the ack-a-me (four blocks away) to pick something up for her.

She is the one person that I would never "correct" for saying "ack-a-me" not because I feared her but because I loved her and loved to hear her say that. Italians knew there were not enough vowels in the Acme name...

LOL! Italian-as-first-language folks love extra syllables! They love adding "a" to the end of hard stop Anglo-Saxon words, too.

Conversely, my Scottish-descended grandmom added "a" to the beginning of verbs—as in, "He's a-goin' to the store."
