I saw this partial article on BuzzFeed {one of my newest addictions}, and then found that someone else {Lisette} blogged about it with a link up.
So, here's my two cents on the matter!
I say:
"car-ml;" not "carra-mel."
"been" with a short e sound
"cray-awn;" not "cray-ahn," "cran," or "crown"
"loyer;" not "law-yer"
"you guys" or "you all;" never "y'all"
"pajamas" as in "father"
"pick-AHN"
soda, not pop or coke
roundabout not traffic circle
tennis shoes; not gymshoes or sneakers
interstate; not freeway or highway
Mary and marry as the same; merry is different though
ant not ah-nt
"cauliflower" with a short i sound
at the store, it's a buggy not a shopping cart
There are many more, but I didn't want to bore you with all 122!
Do you say some of these words the same way or differently?
My husband, being from the north, often says things way different for me.
It provides endless entertainment for us!
