I've lived all over the U.S., and have enjoyed all regional accents. However, there is a huge difference between regional accents and poor grammar and writing.

@febe1 You are correct. Just read a few posts and you will be able to read poor grammar.

I agree with the OP. I hate it when people drop their t’s and pronounce cotten as couin or button as bouin. They don’t need to pronounce with a hard T sound but to forgo the T altogether sounds uneducated. Ok everyone, pile on.

The Brits have a way of saying button-it's like 'buddon'. Is that what you mean?

@Againin That is so 80's. We should enjoy the diff pronunctions and not mock those that say things a little differently.

I find it interesting the different ways words are pronounced depending on where you live. I was recently in S. Carolina and was taken aback with how a tour guide and other people in the area pronounced pecan. In my neck of the woods--the Midwest--we pronounce it "pe-cahn". It was funny as the tour guide said he gets a lot of confused reactions when he says "pe-CAN" but that it's actually the correct way to say it.

My complaint exactly!

@KKJ I live in Philly and I say peCAN
