Pixsburgh, worsh(wash), erh (there), dahn (down), crick (creek), hass (house), aht (out), dem (them), sammich (sandwich), falled (fell), tahn (town), slippy (slippery), farr (fire), spigget (spigot), caach (couch), retch (reach), fahned (found)....

If you add in our own words like en'at, younz, redd-up, red dog, boney, jaggoff, chipchop, Sliberty and all the others, we really do have our own language.

No matter where you live, you do not have a hot water heater.
Why would you heat hot water anyhow?

Hot is a legal description indicating that said heater is capable of heating water to 160 F and applicable for commercial use. Now I believe the cut off is 130 F. Stated differently it is a heater that produces hot water.



My mark of a poor education is when I here "our" pronounced as are instead of rhyming with hour.

While we're at it, how about this horrible trend, that's been around way, way too long: up talking. Where they end a statement so it sounds like a question. Stop it now.
Connie Chung warned us about it!

I can't stand it when I hear im-pore-dent instead of important, man-a-fac-ter instead of manufacture, warsh instead of wash, stew-dints instead of students, beld instead of build, orient-tated instead of oriented, or one of the most stupid expressions of all time: I could care less. It's I couldn't care less !

Oh, did anyone mention boolits ?

Living in SoCal I'm pretty used to Free Staters mispronouncing the Mexican names for things. I don't find it particularly irritating. <shrug>

My wife was from Beaumont, Texas so I know a lot of the correct pronunciations of that language as well as a few words of Loozyanan...

I would always let her know when I was fixinta go up on the ruff & warsh the solar panels...

 

[pawngal]

I really don't notice mis-pronouncing of common words too much around here but boy, you should hear some of the pronunciations of Okoboji. Especially by anyone East of the Mississippi. And my maiden name was even worse, I couldn't say it correctly until after I started school.

Miami is really my-am-a with older Miamians. Just as well if you around Vietnamese folks as Miami is a very bad word in their language.
