    Lightbulb Pronounally ambiguous?

    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.

    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.

    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.
