Clement Ties School Record As Cajuns Complete Sweep Of Bearkats

[CajunJack55]

So does a Cajun boy from Jeanerette actually pronounce it Cle-ment? Because in Vermilion Parish we say Clay-maw. I understand BT pronouncing his last name as Tray-han as he's from Kinder and didn't know any better. But a Cle-ment from Iberia Parish? Does not compute.

Born and raised in Kinder, even we pronounced it "clay-maw."

Pretty much everyone does...except people from jeanerette.

I actually know his dad. We went to school together and it is Clement. There are 2 different families in Jeanerette. Clements and Clement.

I spoke to Kyle's parents. His mom thanked me for saying it the right way.

Clement.

You should tell his mom that they pronounce it the wrong way. Them and all of crazycajun's buddies from Jeanerette.

In addition pretty much everyone pronounces Jeanerette wrong. Just realized that. It should not be pronounced Jin-er-et.

Well, at least we got to the bottom of it.

Clem-ment it is.

Maybe it's supposed to be Jin-uh-ret.

---When I got use to the Non NO pronunciation of the team in '63 the brutal starting lineup of the French names was incredible----I remember Addy Mentel (a DeLa Salle freshman) coming up to me and telling me that a bunch of guys were actually talking French---the boy was shocked!!!
