Reminds me of the time I shared an elevator with three big, big, football players. After I got off the elevator, I asked my friend what country they were from. Turns out it was the American south. I couldn't pick out a single word!

What about "lab-ra-tory"?

Katherine

LOL! and (I'm seriously asking this, now..)...does ANYONE really pronounce the r in February? Everyone I know says Febuary. Noreen

I do Noreen, that's the way I was taught. I also say offen instead of often. I was taught that too, and leftenant! Never could spell that one correctly. LOL

Me, too, although I try to say it with the "r".

Hugs, Katherine

Leftenant (lieutenant) is a British and Canadian thing I think. Maybe Aussie too. I just don't "like" it so go with "loo-ten-ant". It's one instance where I go against the Canadian thing.

Shelagh

yes m'am. It's FebRuary, and that's how I say it. ;>)

Shelagh

Giggle, every time I hear that word I think of a Preppy Cinderella.

(Weejuns are slip-on shoes that were popular with that crowd.)

I do:( .... and I pronounce the d in We*d*nesday

It's there, just softened a lot.

And they were made by a company called Bass. So - Bass Weejuns....

X-No-Archive: yes "Noreen's Knit*che" wrote > LOL!

I say February.....the other way is one of my pet peeves!

Eimear

Ahh, I do but that is because it is the Dutch way to pronouce the RRR in everything......close on the heels of the Scots.....LOL ' Els

I'm one of those weird people who actually pronounce it with both r's. Maybe it's because my birthday is in FebRuary. :-) Most people I know skip the first r. Robin

Wow, is this a blast from the past. I remember Bass Weejuns from my high school days way too many years ago. My parents bought me a pair from the factory seconds store when we were in Maine visiting my uncle.

Typos happen. :-)

New Englanders do pronounce them differently, but not quite as differently as others hear them... I don't say "er" I say "e", but someone else with a different accent will hear "e-ah". And vice versa(r) ;-).

Reading the net is so educational, sometimes I think there ought to be a college course in it. Probably as part of a psychology class, or at least sociology.

It was great fun, but not cheap, though you do get value for money. The masquerade was excellent.

=Tamar

I do. Mom drilled us in pronunciation.
