I'm running a little behind but would like to add my contribution to the
Baptist/Babtist pronunciation thread.

To which Bethany replied.

I never heard anything else growing up in se texas.


I grew up as the daughter of a Baptist preacher in Mississippi.  We lived in
a community in central Mississippi from 1957-1962 where the pronunciation
for many people was BABuhtis', and people got babuhtized when they got
saved.
