How dare you say th.....oh, no wait,you're right

For those of you outside the UK, The Black Country is a region right bang in the middle of the country - Our accent is a matter of national ridicule. Which is pretty damn rich coming from Scousers and Geordies....

I probably served you in there! Or maybe even had you removed from the premises for being drunk and disorderly..? That's where I met my wife. She proposed to me on the disabled ramp on 29th Feb.

RocknRollDave said:

more than likely got me thrown out yeah

thats so sweet about the whole ramp thing (where did she lean her white stick while she held your hand to propose?)

i know someone who pronounces the "t" in "often".

"Yuge"? It drives me nuts when people do that, it's like they don't see the "h" at the beginning of the word. I have a friend who says "yuge", and I have to bite my tongue not to correct her, although it is very tempting. I hate it when people mispronounce the word "huge".

I find it very sad that you can openly mock those poor souls with speech impediments. I don't spend my day working with the verbally impaired but I'm sure they're suffering.

As I said, I'm yugely disappointed.

My friend says wwwwwHite for white..

with a long wwwww and a big H then ite.. drives me mad..

just get over it...

i can't pronounce lots of words properly (ones with s's in them)

and I know i don't talk correct english for gods sake I come from the Black Country nobody there speaks properly

what does get on my nerves though is my friend who has got the same accent as me but has a rich mother-in-law and puts on a really crap posh accent when she speaks to her..

why pretend to be something your not to please someone else

psychodelicide said:

OH MY JEHOVAH GIRL! Come to Rhode Island...it drives me insane when I hear "YUGE" instead of huge. They all say it here! It sounds so ignorant and I always correct the person saying it, I can't help it! It just goes up my ass so bad!

Phew, glad I'm not the only one. It's actually become one of my biggest pet peeves.

Speaking for myself, I'm poking fun at people who pronounce the word "huge" incorrectly. I'm not mocking the way you talk.
