I am sure that some of you, if not all of you, have a certain way that you pronounce certain words. I know I do and given that I live in the south, Lord knows we talk different. I was trying to think up some words that I had heard. My Nanny has a few on this list. Please add to it. I think it will be funny. Happy Wednesday! Only 2 days to go!!
ORANGE - I pronounce it "Oreeenge"
OXYGEN - Nanny says "Oshagen"
SALSA - Nanny says "Salseea"
NAPE of the neck - Too Tall says "Nap of neck"
WASH(ing)(er) - I have heard "Warsh(ing)(er)"
DADDY - I say "Deddy"
EGG - Rhonda's mother says "Aig"
LIBRARY - I have heard "Libarry"
ALBUM - Rhonda's mother says "Alblum"
WRIST - Rhonda's sister in-law says "Wristes"
CLIMB - Michael J's friend says "Clumb"
PICTURE - Rhonda's other sister in-law says "Picher"
These are just a few. Add as you will. I would appreciate it.
Love to all!

SHAWN!
UM...
I say everything correctly...
I think
sjonze- pronounces shont-zee (your grand father)
nuclear- pronounced noo-cue-ler (W, the president)
OK...I forgot that mom says "srimp" and everyone down in L.A. says "oyshters."
I have lived with the mispronunciation of my name, my whole life. I have heard it all! Grampa calls calls me "Sontsey."
Shawn is the worst by far! So-jon, sonja, s-jon and the list goes on...
