I have never heard anyone pronounce measure that way. Me either. |

Ahhhhh...California. 'Nuff said.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

'Nuff said. Before moving to California in the mid-'90s, I had blissfully never heard someone say "all" in place of "said": "He was all, 'You need to be home by 10,' but I was all, 'I'll get home when I feel like it.'" That bugged me for a while, but I guess it's no worse than using "like" or "goes" for "said." | |

"mā-zhər" instead of "me-zhər" (measure) "trā-zhər" instead of "tre-zhər" (treasure) Edit: the boxes are supposed to be upside-down 'e's...I don't know why they won't post... I guess you all missed my post. It's actually an officially accepted pronounciation, according to Merriam-Webster. I think I picked it up when I took a course on Shakepeare and we read "Measure for Measure."  | |

What makes me giggle is when people pronounce "jalepenos" (pronounced hall-ah-pee-nos) "jah-lap-a-nos".  RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

  Does this mean you occasionally have to take a "sheet," Ariel? That reminds me of a joke my brother once told me:
There was a Mexican fellow who was checking into a hotel. The person at the front desk asked him how many sheets he wanted on his bed. The Mexican looked at the front desk employee and said, "Sir, if you put any sheets on my bed, I will kill you!" [Edited 9/30/08 17:25pm] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I'm British, so naturally I pronounce everything exactly as it is supposed to be pronounced. "I know that living with u baby, was sometimes hard...but I'm willing 2 give it another try.
Cause nothing compares....nothing compares 2 u!" | |
