Sooo...last year a student mis-heard me. He (and his friends) thought I was telling them that Virginia planters transitioned from tobacco to weed during and after the Revolution. Uh, no. That would be wheat. Whhheeeattt.These days, I carefully pronounce the word, then emphasize it, then explain why I'm whistling out my "w"s. Apparently, that amused one of my students. Also, I'm apparently "Fifi" and I teach in "Fionaville."
Hm.
