Odd question, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me locate the part of the novel where a characters says something like "That was pronounally ambiguous"? I meant to mark the page because I like this dialog section, but I can't find it now.

Thanks!

Are you referring to the conversation between Piper and Jackie on pg. 719?

"Pronounally vague but otherwise colorful."

Hope that helped. :smile2:

Yeah I remember reading that and I thought it was a great phrase! But I can't find it in the book. I wouldn't even know where to start looking.:eek2:

I'll have to check page 719 when I go home tonight--thanks for the help! Under the Dome was one of his best works, IMHO :)

The phrase is actually "pronounally vague" and it's on page 591, in the conversation between Jackie and Piper. I read it earlier this afternoon and was struck by it. Probably because the word "pronounally" looks wrong and that's what I picked up on. It's a great phrase.

Correct. At least on MY page 719.

I'd bet that King caught himself, left it in, and...vaguely...made fun of an earlier draft/sketch. At least I hope that's the reason for including that part.
