16:54Now PlayingNOTE: The spelling of "Huzzah" was actually used in the 18th Century, it was just less common than "Huzza."
Has there ever been an exultation more glorious than the simple "Huzza"? I certainly can't think of any. But unfortunately, this 18th Century universal cheer of joy has, over the years, become corrupted! More often than not, the word is pronounced incorrectly. Not only by members of the public, but by we reenactors as well! I only learned of the correct way to say the word but a few months ago! But now that I have changed my own ways, I figured I'd do my part to help dispel the old farbery, and promote the proper way to shout "Huzzay!" (See? I made a rhyme there. It only works when you say the word properly, though!)
