Different thread, and somewhat different pronunciation from the part of the 
Deep South (northern Alabama) in which I grew up, for that 
matter.  Locally, it was pronounced more like "sprei[nj]," with a swallowed 
"g."  "Sprang" (as in the past tense of the English verb "spring," as 
opposed to its actual Scandinavian pronunciations) sounds to me almost more 
like West Virginia or Pennsylvania....

Oh, wait.  Was that a joke? ;}
