In today's (Friday, Sept. 15th) SF Chronicle, Scott Ostler had this
in his column (re George W's less than stellar command of the
language):

"...Arthur Lewis points out, 'Some Texans, even intelligent ones,
mispronounce words, usually adding a letter or a syllable.  A friend
of mine says 'rhinosterous.'  It is a sort of regional Ebonics,
consistent within itself.'"
