Sounded ok to me...
The Green Dragon is a pub I sometimes visit in a village near here. Very nice!

No, it's pronounced Ephrata, not Ephrata.
Listen again: Ephrata.
Now you try.

Ephrata? Ephrata? Hmm, Ephrata?
The Collapsed Ruins of the Strange Umber plants
Lady Scott Posted Mar 13, 2003
No, you're still not getting it.
It's Ephrata.
Pronounced "Ephrata".
Go ahead, try it again.

The Green Dragon is in Bywater, right?

This Green Dragon is in Stoke Fleming, but I think Sam Gamgee would feel quite at home there!

Lady Scott Posted Mar 14, 2003
No, I keep telling you, the Green Dragon is in Ephrata!

I thought they were banning Ephedra? 
The Collapsed Ruins of the Strange Umber plants
Lady Scott Posted Mar 14, 2003
Spelled differently.
Ephrata, not ephedra.
Speaking of which, I saw some tea that contains ephedra (not Ephrata, which is a town, and would be very difficult to make into a tea) on sale the other day at the grocery store. While I was still standing there, some lady came along and snatched up every box of it. 
Must be hooked on the stuff. Wonder if she was from Ephrata?

The Collapsed Ruins of the Strange Umber plants
Lady Scott Posted Mar 14, 2003
Good for you!
Did it make any sense?

EPHrata?
The Collapsed Ruins of the Strange Umber plants
Lady Scott Posted Mar 14, 2003
That's close, but can you hear the subtle difference?
"Ephrata", not "Ephrata".

Not in the slightest!!
Does it ever?

Had you read the backlog, you'd know we were having a lesson on how to pronounce "Ephrata".
