Sing it, sister!

Coupon

I say coo-pon rather than q-pon.

My pronunciations are in a state of flux since I've moved.

* "God," now vacillates between rhyming with Maude and nod.
* "Sorry" comes out sounding like SORE + ry. (Which is cool in Canada, but folk look at me like I'm crazy in the States.
* "Process" was formerly PRAH (as in Prada) + cess, but it is now occasionally PRO + cess.

I don't want to end up sounding like Madonna or Tina Turner. When/if I move back south, I'll need exit counseling.

I always say inDICative but I knew someone who'd say it INdicaytive.

Maybe you were French in a former life.

"Maude" and "nod" don't rhyme?


You mean like "SORE-rye"? I say "SOAR-ee".


I say "PRAW-cess".

Protege said:

I say 'where the fuck have you been?' like 'WHERE IN THEEE FACK HAVE YOU BEEEEN?'

Lammastide said:

Oui!

Honey said:

I didn't know any anybody said it any other way but 'coo-pon'.

My wife says 'coo-pong'. But then she also says 'hippocrip' and 'cocky accent' (when she means cockney), 'unbelievedable' and all manner of other stuff, but I can let her off and cut her some slack because she's stupid.

i say moving a lot like "movang ay lawt".

i say ketchup 'catch-up', and so does my sister. we blame our mom.

Well, I pronounce things correctly, but a certain orger doesn't...

For example, I say dinner he says deener.

I say bidders, he says beeders.

Honey said:

me too!

Let's just say that I mix up another word for being with number 2.

Ace said:

No, I do say "SOAR-ee" now, but I used to say it as it would rhyme with "starry."

Protege said:

If I'm, like, really moving, I say it 'MOOVAYAING...UH!' :move: :move: :move:

Ooh, that really gets on my tits!

Does this mean you occasionally have to take a "sheet," Ariel?
