Not in game:
How are you pronouncing “piano”? I only get two syllables.

That’s almost how I say it. Pee-ANN-o. SE Texas, here. How do you say it, and where are you from?

Here in NE Ohio, I’m with Rebo as to pronouncing “piano.”
In play:
You tinkle the keys,
but not _on_ the keys, okay?
That would be nasty.

Sorry. I counted it out as PYA-no. Now I’m going to have to think about whether I really pronounce it that way. And listen to the folks around me.

You gonna do it?

I will, if you want.

Folks diarrhea,
Or unplugged diarrhea,
Is more authentic.
