This is regional and ethnic usage. I hear it a lot, and it doesn't bother me. I know some people who have worked on getting the pronunciation right, but others try and just can't. One of the teachers I once worked with said "ax." She taught English too. She would catch herself and try to correct it. She was a good friend, and we all loved her.

"THESE ONES" does bother me. I also hear "these ones here." **shudder**

Then you have me - When I try to say "cavalry," somehow it always comes out "Calvary." I just can't get those two straight, and I DO get teased a lot about it!

That explains a lot.

@beach-mom LOL! That reminded me of my Dad. He always struggled with Toyota. It came out sounding sort of like Tyoty. He also pronounced bulbs as "bubs." Definitely regional (TX) I spent many years working in a military environment & heard many different accents & ways of pronouncing words. I learned to appreciate the cultural influences in the various parts of this wonderful USA that create all those interesting ways of pronouncing words.

@DoneTryin - Your dad sounds like my mom. Maybe that's where I get it from. She was well known for mixing up names. When I was a young girl, we had a "Save-a-lot" drug store near us. Mom always said, "I'm going to Sail-Away"! - maybe because we lived on the water?? My brother and I would just look at each other and laugh. So did she! Brings back happy memories!

Warsh instead of wash.......ruff instead of roof......fridgerator instead of refrigerator......all lovingly pronounced by my family...

I don't say that.

There are others that just set my teeth on edge - "I seen" and "me and so and so are" instead of So and so and I are and using guyses for guys.

I don't but I can generally understand what those who do say it mean. It is not an issue.

@beach-mom I suppose it depends on whether you are calling for the military or Jesus.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.
