an old boss of mine had a funny way of pronouncing certain words.

truth was "troot", smooth was "smoot"
product was "produk", air duct was "air duck"
and so on.

used to piss me off to no end...

Was he an islander?

I really, really hate to hear people pronounce the word "scheduled" with the sh as in shoe. That's British. The Brits also pronounce jaguar, aluminum, controversy, and other words differently. If you're going to imitate the Brits, go for it all or nothing. In the USA, it's pronounced sked-uled", there should be no "con-TRAVERSEE" over this.

Also, the thorough demonstration of the total lack of undersanding of the verbs of being grates on my eardrums like an Axel Rose vocal:

I be
you be
he, she, it be
we be
you be
they be

What that is? Who he be?

I understand slang and dialect stretch the boundries of correct grammar, and I know conjugation is hard, but that be making my ears hurt!


We have a word/expression in the south that probably bothers some: "fixing to" or "fixinta", meaning "preparing to" or "will do very soon". Example of use: I'm fixinta go to the store.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I'd rather hear "fixin to," than "finna," though. I don't know if that is everywhere, but down here in SoCal some people further lazify the word and say "finna."

Fixin or finna, it depends on who I'm around.

in his case, he was born and has lived his whole life in San Bernardino. Nobody else talks like that here. I think he does it on purpose.

Perhaps he was raised by parents who spoke with that dialect. People learn what theyre taught, and what they grow up hearing.

This thread has left me feeling disorientated which can cause me to become argumentative.

 

[Tituscrow]

I love the film Fargo. Do people really talk like that?

 

[ShredderMaximus]

I don't know if its proper or not, but I can't stand when people say "I win you!", It seriously makes me hate you a little bit.

Also when people say "woof" instead of "wolf."

I know being in the army introduces some phonetics that I can't quite break. Every once in a while, I'll say "fife" instead of five, or if I hear someone say repeat my reflex is to let them know to never say repeat unless you mean it...instead use "say again".

FYI, "repeat" on the radio means for the artillery guys to fire again.

Well, since you in SoCal, you prolly finna go ta Dinnalan (Disneyland), right?

You should all go have yourselves some fun and read Irvine Welsh's "The Acid House".

If you lived around my way, you'd be suicidal by now. What bothers me the most is the fact that this is exactly how my brother talks despite him being the most intelligent 16 year old I know. I hope it's a phase but I can't say I've ever known anyone to grow out of awful grammar and enunciation.

 

[MatticusMania]

Wut, ya'll think yer better n me cuz ya'll talk smarter er sum?

That's one that gets my goat, too

Remind me to be very, very careful around you
