Deaf Smith was played by Anthony Quinn in a western called "Deaf Smith and Johnny Ears". Franco Nero played Johnny Ears. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charliebonkers (talk • contribs) 14:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of "Deaf"

There seems to be a question as to how Smith's nickname was pronounced - "deaf" or "deef". The pronunciation is described in Mirriam-Wesbter online (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/deaf) as follows:

Pronunciation:

   \ˈdef, dialect ˈdēf\

Function:

   adjective

Etymology:

   Middle English deef, from Old English dēaf; akin to Greek typhlos blind, typhein to smoke, Latin fumus smoke — more at fume

Date:

   before 12th century

Note the "dialect "dēf". I have read on several occasions that Smith's nickname was pronounced "deef" at the time of his life. What is the accepted pronunciation in the locale? Are there references regarding the name?

According to Wikipedia's article on Deaf Smith County, it rhymed with beef:

The pronunciation of "Deaf", like that of Smith himself, is "Deef". However, most people in Deaf Smith County pronounce it "Deaf".
