How do we pronounce porcupine?
What means porcupine?
Porcupine comes from Latin roots, porcus, “pig,” and spina, “spine or quill.” Fittingly, a regional name for the porcupine is “quill pig.” The porcupine is famous for its spines, which become spikier when it’s afraid or angry.
Do you pronounce the L in Rudolph?
I have listened to several different versions of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and they ALL say the L, even if it’s not strong. It’s there! (Thanks, Bing!) Ru-doff sounds like he’s from Jersey.
