Between snow storms

I'm sorry, the name is pronounced as it's seen Confetrit'. I'm a big time History buff and a student of our American Civil War, or the War of Northern Aggression as it is known to many of us Southerners. Lol I came up with this name by watching many old newsreels just after the turn of the century when Confederate Veterans were speaking or being interviewed. They would not say Confederate, but " Confetrit'". They did not anunciate words, as many of us still do not do today. Lol If you read a lot of diaries or letters written home by soldiers during that war, they would spell words as they sounded to them. One of my personal favorites was the word "fighting" in many letters was spelled "fitin". Example, we did a lot of "fitin" today. I reckon it's a Southern thing. God Bless All those soldiers both North and South and all the hardships they as well as their families endured. Didn't mean to babble on.
Hmm
Yup
I used to live Lafayette Georgia.
Just south of Chattanooga.
They pronounced it.
Lafeet.
