Masri served on the dean’s council at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. The school confirms to The New York Post that Masri has resigned.

“The lawsuit raises serious allegations that should be vetted and addressed through the legal process,” a spokesperson tells the news outlet. …

I see how you wrote that. I noticed recently that Qatar, which used to be pronounced Katar, is now called cutter.

When did this happen?

Re “ Palestinian-American”

Two mutually exclusive words

It was GWBush who always referred to/pronounced Qatar as “cutter”. He was a Texan through and through.

I lived in Houston briefly in the 1980s - moved down from and then back to NY/NJ.

In the NY/NJ area there are small accent diferences between people somewhat by ethnicity, by folks born and raised there all their life, deriving mostly from the neighborhood/area of New York or Jersey they always lived in, and that with some ethnic distinction of some areas - predominately black, Italian, Latin, ect., ect.

But what I found in Houston was there was little ethnic distinction in accents among the people there. Everyone except newcomers like me had a similar Texas accent, regardless of family/ethnic background.

I see most of the news readers calling it cutter now. It took me a while to figure out what they were talking about. Cutter and Katar aren’t even remotely close in pronunciation...

George W. Bush was born in New Haven, Connecticut. That does not make him “a Texan through and through”.

GHW Bush, father of GW, moved his family to Texas when GW was two years old. GW grew up a Texan, not a New Englander.

Nope. Such a thing does not make one “a Texan through and through”. There’s tons of New Englander in Dubya.
