Via Seacoast Online, I just learned that Columbus Day is now the second busiest weekend for tourism in Maine--more than 700,00 cars used the Maine Turnpike to leaf peep.
Which brings me to my question:
How do you pronounce that word that describes what the peepers are viewing? Foliage?
Is it fO-lE-ij? Or fO-lij? Do you pronounce it with two syllables or three?

Two syllables,doesn't everyone?
I'm very complicated and definitely a 3 syllable FO-LEE-IG person.
Darn but that word syllable is hard to spell
positively three.
I'm starting to think it's a northeast vs. the rest the country thing pronunciation.
Thanks to all these newly wed or nearly dead leaf peepers we pronounce it muh-KNee in these here parts.
Oh, keep on sailin', you cruise lovin' silver foxes; keep on honeymoonin', you be-chinoed young insurance actuary and your kindergarten teacher wife. Baby needs a new pair of shoes and I can live without a parking space for a few more weeks if it means a full root cellar.
Four.

Weasel-HEH...it's a very good thing for much of northern NE, isn't it?
Amy- Fall-Fol-e-age?
Down south it is a two syllable word.
