With all the talk of the pronunciation of Sonia Sotomayor's surname, has anyone else thought of Golda Meir this week?
"Why did I think of her?" I asked myself.
Could it be the fourth paeon -- the mertic foot consisting of three shorts and a long: ~~~' ??
Of course, if you accent the first syllable in "Golda" it doesn't work, since you have a choriamb instead.
But close enough for government work, to which Judge Sotomayor aspires.
