Heard on local TV: _Arctic_

[Wilson Gray]

Spoken by Josh Hodell, local weatherman, about five minutes ago:

"We're looking forward to some Arctic [a_rt_Ik] weather over the next
couple of days."

Youneverknow.

(He flapped the /t/, as you'd expect in that environment, but I've
forgotten what we're using as the phonetic symbol for it.)

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"––a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
