    If you want to hear people speak incorrectly, come to london, where they speak in ‘cockney’ (yes, we are aware of the first 4 letters) which is compleatly forign to anyone from anywhere other than east london, and it goes a little like this;

    “i left a right skiddy in me under crackers last night ‘cos i was desperate for the ronson when i saw me old dear came on the wobbly and ‘ad to stop and watch”

    your guess is as good as mine…

    I wonder if she sits in the liberry eating a sammitch
    while reading fillosoffey books by gung and nyeatzeeshurey? Or maybe nookaler pu-hi-siks. Who says our education system needs help. As we have all seen, Bush is a paragon of diction.

    If you think that’s bad, try having an art history professor mispronouncing pyramid as “pie-rah-mid.” :roll:

    Dave, did you make a trip back to Arkansas? Them there banja pikkers hain’t yet figgered out the Kang’s ainglish. WTF, the leader of the free world, the man with his finger on the trigger that could send the whole damn planet can’t pronounce “nuclear”! Reminds me of Homer Simpson, “It’s nuke-u-lar Lisa. Nuke-u-lar”. We are being lead by a C- student, a drunken frat rat.

    Ironically, I’d bet she knows how to pronounce ‘methamphetamine’ perfectly.

    Jeez guys, don’t you know that as Americans we aren’t supposed to be able to pronounce any foreign words correctly? I mean a lot of Americans don’t have maps so how are we supposed to know how to say the words correctly when we don’t know where any of them come from? Just order a coffee and a croys-ant from now on to avoid this entire problem. Or better yet, have your significant other order for you and just nod like you don’t speak english at all and say “Tank-oo”. :java:

    ‘Mirkins got it easy. have you heard people with major native-tongue problems speak english? mixing “sh” sounds with “ch” sounds, “r” sounds for “l” “p” with “f” or “ph”. it’s chaotic, man some times a down right hoot! but other times, just plain old anoying, like WTF! can’t you take your time to pronounce proper? doesn’t have to be pure ‘Mirkin….Damn!

    6 more days til dinkmas. the day when the baby dinkus was born and placed in a dinker. the dinkels came down from dinkven and told the dinkherds about the birth of the dink child. 3 wise dinks travelled from afar bearing dinks for the child. dink, dinkencense and MYRHH-lit. more dinkmas facts to come.

    I got to admit sometimes it’s kinda cute when people mispronounce things. My mom has told me that I used to say “pasghetti” instead of “spaghetti” when I was a kid. And I have a friend from Columbia who pronounces cookie “kooky.” It just makes me smile. :lol:
