about 1-1/2 years ago I took a poll on Rennlist and started a fire storm.. some people are very sure that the wrong way is the only way - it really is amazing to me as well

How do people pronounce "Ford"? Let's see is it a "soft" O, Is it really Fard? Is the d pronounced with a duh sound? Is the r really silent?
