...words, I'd like you to shut the fuck up. There are regional pronunciations. If the dictionary lists multiple pronunciations, all are acceptable.
That having been typed, if you say irregardless, you need to die. |

The way many newscasters and such in the US pronounce "historic" in Brit-speak (as in "This is an 'istoric event") needs to be an
exception here, because it is a pseudo-intellectualist "whatnot" (meaning you're an idiot if you say it), and because England lost the war.

Damn I've been schooled. Should have spent more time in English class, but in my defense, I was a little overwhelmed with all the work I had to do in
'istory class, and all those fucking 'istory books I had to read.
So how many of you BM eaters bough Michael Jackson's 'IStory album? |

My big pet peeve right now is "humble" vs. "umble" and it really gets on my nerves when people omit the H sound.
And I still think that people that pronounce the L in "salmon" are idiots. |

The only instances I've ever heard of people leaving the H off of humble is when referring to the Humble Oil Company. My grandfather worked for 'umble
for a million years. But I always stumble over 'umble, TX.

I was in 'Umble, Texas this fall. I found out, I was mispronouncing it. You wacky Texans and your crazy talk.

As white trash from Ohia, I usually drop the G in words that end in ing. I also sometimes pronouce my O's as A's...like in Ohia.

People who voted for Barney Frank and John Kerry? I'd be happy to put them on the list.
