Q Talk

Here's another designer on today pronouncing "durable" as "dohrable". Seriously, "door"?

Maybe she said adorable??

Once again, a fellow poster points out the variety and complexity of pronunciation in this great, huge, wonderful country.

At least twice a year my parents packed us into the car and drove us to new destination points in other states. 

As kids, we giggled at all the different accents, and the way people pronounced everyday words.

We'd talk with people each time we stopped the car, and we practiced talking as they did. The adults would laugh (with us) at our attempts to imitate their pronunciation. We also learned they thought WE sounded funny too.☺

BTW, door-uh-buhl is an acceptable pronunciation.

See below.

Hey, where I live, we say wooder for water.  Not everyone speaks the way the Dictionary says it should be pronounced.

Really?  SMH

And this is what bothers you?

Goodness!  Where will we go after 11/2 to gripe about such inconsequential things?

@suziebee1   I am originally from Pittsburgh...they have some funny pronunciations too but I get a kick out of it.  Go Stillers!

So you must "red up the table" as my father, from Pittsburgh, always said.

I have trouble with the younger ones trying to say the words button and cotton!  There are absolutely no t's pronounced those words!

Can't  understand much of anything Amy says. She needs speech lessons and a voice coach.  And a job behind-the-scenes.  And  a very good salary, of course.
