Interesting Pronounciations
Where I come from, we have a distinct way of mis-pronouncing words. There's actually a specific term for the ways Utahns warp the english language - "Utahnics". It involves one part drawl, one part laziness, one part vowel mix-up.
Example: "Or" is pronounced as "ar" and "ar" pronounced as "or".
Sample Utahnic pronunciation: "Morgery feeds
harses carn in the born." Or, my favorite: "Marmons who pray to the Lard."
We also say things like "mownan" for "mountain - missing the T entirely. "Melk" for "milk", etc.
Do you come from a place that slaps a drawl on their words, or twists them around in general? Do you yourself have an unusual way of pronouncing certain words, or do you know of someone who does?
