Pecans is not PEE cans or PEE kins or Pe CANES
it is Puh Cons. I have the fucking tree in my yard to prove it
a PEE can is something you pee in at night
and New Orleans is pronounced. New OR Lense
Not New Or Leeeens or Nahwlins
We may say what sounds like Nahwilns to you, but its just bc you can't hear our English good.
and its not cool to pronounce any Cajun name in a fucked up manner just to sound cute

A foreign gentleman went to London many years ago to study English.
Over the next two years he struggled with the niceties and vagaries of the language. He learned to pronounce "taught", "taut", "thought"; "threw", "through", "trough"; "though", "tough".
Just as he thought he was making progress, he noticed an advertising poster in the tube station on the way back to his digs one night. The poster said "West End production of My Fair Lady Pronounced Success."
He caught the next flight home.

I think Jersey covered the wooder for water one.
My grandmother is as Southern as they come and she says Chicargo. And warsh (wash). Drives me bonkers!
I also think pen and pin are two different words and it bothers me people say them the say. I want to say I remember being taught they sounded the same, but how could they?
oooh oooh!! And prolly for probably. Or even probly.

OmG, so many words that can be pronounced in the wrong way....in addition to all the other. :ninja
I think, some wrong pronunciations that Germans make come from the way of teaching foreign languages here in Germany.
Many teachers consist in auditory learning (while I for one, need to SEE how a word is written). And so pronunciations like "in-triss-ting" (just i.e.) come up because it often sounds that way.
Admittedly, until a moment ago I would've said "in-triss-ting", too. :crazy:

Thats a good example. Though here they mispronounce it as "in tress ting" instead of interrrresting...(make sure to roll the rrrr)

With this short "e"-sound, right? (In phonetic transcription it is this an "e" standing overhead)
