Grave lee. Have I been doing it wrong?

Gravely calls themselves "Grave-ly"

Thanks,

The 2-wheel garden tractors must be more common in the rest of the US.

I'm over 70 and I have never seen one in use in the western states, either where I've lived or where I've traveled. Only in magazine ads, and, in modern times, maybe one every couple of months on Craigslist.

Maybe that's why westerners don't always say it right.

I say it with long A, but still pronounce the E. -- Grav ely. That way people know youre talking about a tractor not a situation. :confused3:
