re: Curiosity about "The Want"

i posted about the word assimilazation and after two pages, the powers to be on this board chose to whack the thread. i spelled it like i heard it "assimilzation". i have a masters degree in education and i have a good friend who is a vet. he and his wife, who also has a post sec degree, could not recall such a word. the word southern man chose, acclimaztion, is a form of the word acclimate (ak'le mate) and that is the way it is pronounced (ak'le ma shun). les did not pronounce it that way, therefore we did not know what he was talking about. had he used the word correctly, maybe we would know exactly what he was trying to say. it doesn't make me or anyone else retarded and i resent such a claim. it just makes me wonder what the hell les is trying to say. and it makes people who present the word acclimization as the word he said blind fools. that is not the word he used!
