    here's hoping.

    I remember hearing Jeff on Air America a few years ago saying either is fine, but he said A-ment is proper.

    I could be wrong, but I believe that's what he said.

    I've always heard A-ment (like Ayment), but Ed always says it like uhMENT.
  • einatshauleinatshaul Posts: 2,219
    Stone was all about correcting this guy that "Ament" was right. Whatever.

    That's exactly what he said. I've always thought it was weird that EV says it the wrong way...maybe it's a joke with Jeff or something..it's gotta be.

    It was mainly about his early struggles with Crohn's and how he learned to deal with the disease.

    If you heard the Health Talk Webcast back in October, he referenced similar stories.

    It wasn't a long interview, but was informative and helped get the word out about Crohn's and Colitis.

    Thank you for posting the link to the interview. About Jeff, I remember him doing a station ID for WMMR in Philly in 2k5 and pronouncing his name A-ment.

    "Ay" or "ah"?
