Well, I don't know, Helene.
My wife made sauce, meatballs, sausage and pork for Christmas dinner.
My son, grandson and I made pasta. We just happened to cut it into macaroni.
My grandmother, though, always called it "ma-ca-DON." And we all understood her.
We did have a difficult time with her pronunciation around Christmas. She would talk about "sundy clothes." I was older when I realized nobody else pronounced Santa Claus like that.
