There is trouble even if pronounced correctly: process (ah vs. oh), about (US, Canada, and Scotland are all different); and that doesn’t even get into orthography (-or vs. —our). Divided by a common language.
When someone wants to axe me sumtin, I just want to axe them – over and over. They also have sludge hammers, there also seems to be a lot of sludge left over, though.

That must be the nitpicking couch. Wonder how they’d do at Scrabble?
hariseldon59 over 12 years ago
I doubt that Earl even knows what it means.

Always a good way to improve a relationship, pre-pick on things that you think someone would do wrong, IF they ever did them.

@orinocoOh well, at least I pronounce “autochthonous” correctly.
And I may just be the only one who says “hqiz” the way it otter be said.

I have a friend from New Orleans that say’s
‘chimbly’ in place of chimney,and ‘ascared’ instead
of scared. I asked him about it one time he just
said "ahso’…I didn’t appreciate that considering that
he wasn’t Japanese.

I like my life and my language simple!

Not that I’m simple…….probably because I’m complicated. :)

I first encountered “archipelago” at a too young age (reading “Swallows and Amazons.”) My version was Archy-pie-LAGO!
