In lieu of a factoid, here’s a story I like to tell: When my family moved to our current abode, our elderly next door neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Goode (pronounced Good) and
their (also older) next door neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Pridy (pron.Pretty). One of my kids, who was pretty young at the time, announced that it was a good thing we lived by the Goodes and the Pridys, and not the Bads and the Uglies.
