“It came out POCK e ston with heavy emphasis on the POCK.”

We’ve always pronounced it that way — since the ‘50s — when our friends were missionaries in Pakistan. That’s the correct pronunciation.

Yes I know that is the proper way and that Pakistanis pronounce it that way but SHE never did until she heard her hero “O” pronounce it.
