@shaggygirl  That bothers me more than anything!  This is cawd.............  UGH.  That is not a regional issue.  It is a speech impediment.  People who have that kind of issue  shouldn't be speaking publicaly.  It seems she is unable to say "L"  I just wonder why she isn't instructed to say"this is blue".

Are you sure that you mean this, @KKWA -- that people who have a speech impediment shouldn't be speaking to the public???

I would not hire  a spokesman for my company with a speach impediment.

This is host inexcusable: I've heard more than one host pronounce wrinkled skin as creepy skin.

I can't say I've ever noticed someone saying "button" differently. I do have a funny story that happened early in my marriage. My husband is from the midwest, and I'm an east coast girl. One day I heard him ask me to hand him a "pin". I responded, "A safety pin or a straight pin?" He looked at me strangely and said, "A pin that you write with." That's when I realized he was asking for a PEN!

LOL, @PreKteacher . I noticed my husband doing this. I asked him to pronounce pen then asked him to pronounce pin. There was not a whit of a difference. He's from the South and I'm from the North.

I hear buh in here a lot.  Drives me crazy.

On the news a couple months ago they spoke to someone about a fire in the neighborhood.  The young woman interviewed said the person that escaped the fire was "shooken."  Huh!  I would have been shaken by the experience.  So James Bond takes is drink shooken not stirred.

Also on ID a person said, "he had tooken the money."  wth. Do people talk like that in a job interview?

@CherryHugs Now that's a first for me.  I have never heard bedroom pronounced bet room, and would be shocked if I did.  I wonder what part of the country pronounces it that way, any ideas?
