[Ads-l] rind

[Laurence Horn]

Probably one of those spelling pronunciations that can live in one's mental lexicon along with the actual one--perhaps she thinks of /rInd/ and /raind/ as more or less synonyms, as in the stage many go through with /'maizld/ and /mIs'lEd/, or "be-RIB-boned" vs. /bi'rIb at nd/.  Still, strange that a cooking show host wouldn't have heard others pronounce it with a diphthong, or wondered why she never heard anyone else pronounce it without one.
