constityootional

Updated: July 5, 2026

Fifty years hence, perhaps, our grandsons will be saying "constitootional," and theirs "constityootional." I confess that, in point of abstract sonority, I prefer the "yoo" to the dry "oo;" but that, again, is a pure matter of taste. If Americans choose to say, "From morn To noon he fell, from noon to dooey eve, A summer's day."
