You're one of them! :argh:Quote:

I have been persecuted for saying "carmel" instead of "car-a-mel"
I actually lived down south in Vancouver. So, practically P-Town. And the others you mention we definitely do, although caramel kind is a give and take. But I still don't think I have ever heard 'bayg', and I've been all over Washington and Oregon.Quote:

I have the very sexy and seductive mixed accents of Dutch German and West Coast Canadian.
I thought everyone pronounces it manaze & carmel.
I've got some relatives who say ''warsh'' instead of ''wash''. my grandmother also says ''sangwich'' instead of sandwich & ''haych'' instead of ''aych''.
My accent is something like Rick Grimes in the Walking Dead, but with a little more southern twang. That's really the only way to describe it lol
