    Orange = arnge

    Creek = crick

    Those I've kept since I moved from PA...one I lost though is I used to pronounce water as "wooder"


    but do you still "red up your rooms", cheer tha stillers and tha "iggles"? i:heart: my warshers

    The "iggles" yes...the "stillers" HELL NO...:sick:

    awwwa :cry:

    Sorry...I'm from the Philly area...I was taught from an early age to hate all teams from the western side of the state...and all NY, NJ, Boston/New England & MD teams (although I've always had a soft spot for the Orioles despite that), LOL!

    I pronounce the "h"s in words like "white" and "where". It's hard to type, but apparently people notice it. I live north of Colorado, and my southern family says "Collar-a-dah"... It's "coller-ah-doh". My husband says "BAG-ul, instead of Bay-gul.

    see I'm an immigrant to the USA from England...I say AluMINeeum, and the other day I was asking someone if they ever watched Pawn Stars and I apparently pronounce it Porn but I don't pronounce my r's. You guys say Pahwn and Porrrn, I say Pawn and Pawn. :D Easy, see?

    I think I speak with a pretty generic American midwestern accent. No weird pronunciations.

    One that irritates me is when people say "nuc-u-lar" instead of nuclear. Or pecan. I say it "puh-cawn." "Pee-can" sounds like something you urinate in on a camping trip.

    :laugh:

    OMG, My MIL says Reend... It took me FOREVER to figure out that reend is the same thing as ruined. Jeez. Apparently I say my hometown's name weird, Adrian. Adrin? I'm not sure how the way I say it is different... Then there's Sant instead of Saint.... My "twang" is a mix of Missouri (Missourah) farmer, and hillbilly. My mom and grandparents were raised in the hills...
