   Why, no, I did not know that “dray-ma” is a legitimate alternative pronunciation of “drama”.

   “dray-ma”, I suspect, is favored by those who pronounce “the-ay-ter”.

   I go to the the-ay-ter to see a movie. What’s drah/ayma?

   That’s probably how Sarah Palin would say it.

   The online Merriam Webster gives the pronunciation as either drah•ma or dram•a. So I trudge up two flights of stairs and pull the 4lb volume IV of the OED off the shelf and find only the pronunciation drah•ma. Father, could you please cite your source for dray•ma?

   Dray-mah is Canadian, my father says. As is pro- ject. Not project — pro-ject, like proe-ject.

   Eh?
