I thought I did contribute with my announcement?

What, by being an ass? Almost everybody has something substantial to say except you.

Save that bleach for your own ass, i’m sure your boyfriend would appreciate it. Oh and I can pronounce “Bitch” and thats exactly what you are and what you’re doing. [/quote]

Oh no Totempole, you have me all wrong. I don’t bleach my ass. I’m very old school & like the au natural look.

Not sure what my sexual preference has to do with this either. Unless that is your way of flirting.

My first post about this thread does in fact have substance. It is retarded, I just happen to be the only one to say it out loud.

Now do yourself a favor & go back to turning the hot dogs in the rotisserie.

Beth, how you doing? You sweet thick flock of seagulls looking hottie.[/quote]
Yawn. Took you long enough to come back with a response. Maybe the moonshine and mountain dew was starting to rot your brain? Anyway, This is boring so im just going to ignore you here on out.[/quote]

Where is the fun in that? Ignoring me. C’mon pal, lets say you & I hug it out?

Am I the only one amused to notice that the name “Confucius” was brought up in a thread on how English-speakers have trouble pronouncing non-english words?

Well, I could have written “Kongzi”, but then nobody would know what I was talking about.

Sense, that makes none. Clams come with attached pearl.[/quote]

Not much wisdom though.[/quote]

yeaup. i’ll drink to that.[/quote]

Either you guys are really stretching the idea of a pearl, or Beth has a little third party decoration going on down there, which I wouldn’t doubt at all.

This is clearly an important discussion.

I sometimes find myself pronouncing “especially” like “expecially” and I have called a “library” a “libary” on multiple occasions.

This isn’t really a mispronunciation issue but for the longest time I thought the expression “dog eat dog world” was a “doggy dog world”. I think I probably should have kept that one to myself though. LOL

My dad says worsch instead of wash.

I think this guy used to think along similar lines.

EDIT: God damn it. It was supposed to be a picture of Snoop Dogg. Never mind. It wasn’t that funny.

I’m born and raised in Pittsburgh. Consequently, I can’t pronounce a fucking thing correctly unless I really concentrate, especially when I’ve had a few drinks. I’m not as bad as some of the yinzers around here but it sticks out pretty bad when I’m out of town.

There.

“A doggy dogg world.”

Ha ha.

Fuck.

Same here! I’m from Baltimore (BAL’mer, HON!) and I’ve worked pretty hard on getting rid of that accent, but it sneaks up on me sometimes. What’s funny is that the first ten years of my life I was in an all black neighborhood and I spoke a Baltimore version of ebonics, then I moved to Hampden which is white trash central and I picked up that annoying nasally affectation with my vowels. Then I tried to get rid of it all, so I sound normal up to a point, but then something weird will just fly out of my mouth when I’m not paying attention.

When I drink, it’s fucking hilarious - I sound like I’m a character out of a bad movie. FML

A bad John Waters movie, no doubt.

Had to look up that one in Wikipedia, but good point. The Chinese themselves had trouble figuring out how to read the name.

Still, I think I’ll start attributing real Confucius quotes to “Master Kung Fu”.

Everyone needs to speak English English - its called English for a reason.

Not the bastardised American version with your ‘z’s’ and Aluminum etc. Dropping the ‘u’ favor and color.

As for Worcestershire… Its pronounced wuh ster shire

Right. Bloody good suggestion, old chap. Tip-top.

Though if I might make an observation, it seems that all of the examples you’re criticising (zed, aluminium, colour and so forth) have to do exclusively with British spelling, not pronunciation, which is of course the raison d’etre of this thread?

And you do mean British, don’t you? Or were you pointedly excluding the Scots, Welsh, Irish and the rest of the Commonwealth from the club of Anglophone propriety?

And in any event what sort of “English English” would you propose that “everyone” adopt?

Oxford?
Cambridge?
Liverpudlian?
Cockney?
Yorkshire?
Gloustershire?
Herefordshire?
“Wuhstershire”?

Judging by your avatar and user name, you are a gentleman of Egyptian ancestry. Would you agree that the Arab world, including the Syrians, Lebanese, Algerians and the Egyptians ought to all start speaking proper “Arabian Arabic”, that is, the Hejazi dialect of Saudi Arabia? Because that would be the linguistic equivalent. It’s called “Arabic” for a reason, you know.

Oh, and not to pick too hard at nits, but you seem to have missed an apostrophe up there, old chap. Cheers.
