Word Usage And Pronunciations That Drive You Nuts...

[bayoubill]

here's a few that make me crazy...

the way a lotta white folks up in redneck country pronounce "school" to rhyme with "mule"...

the way a lotta black folks say "ax" instead of "ask"...

 

[bayoubill]

another thing that drives me crazy...

when otherwise-intelligent-seeming people sound out the the "t" in the word "often"...

How do you think "school" should be pronounced?

My pet peeve regardless of race. Why do people like to say the letter "O" for the number Zero when calling out something like a phone number?

We have different accents in America just like England does.
America has Bostonian, New Yorkers, Southerners, Westerners.
England has Cockney, London, Essex.
It would be very boring if we all talked the same.

Ok, I do see a slight difference, Y'ALL.

No help there Bayou. Of course I , live in the deep south..............

me, I'm descended from the earliest English and Scots-Irish settlers to arrive in the South...

(most of my forbearing branches started out in South Carolina in the 1600's and thence migrated to the Mississippi and Louisiana territories)...

and I live just south of redneck-land down here in Cajun Country...

and, dang... both my wives (previous and current) are Cajun gals...

"Gals"? Do you mean women? ; )

I dislike the word "stay" used for "live" myself. And I often say "What do you do for a living"?, instead of "What is your occupation"? after too many blank stares at the word OCCUPATION.

What would that mean?
I live in the country and I'd be happy to match degrees, paychecks and assets with that fucking inbred any day.

Top two:
People that say "ant" for "and."

People that use "then" when "than" is the correct word

Warrior sent me a neg-rep message in response to my OP: “White folks in”... I have no idea what it means...

I tried to send him back this message:

“thanks, old buddy...

glad to see you back in action again... I've missed you... I was actually starting to worry if you were okay...”

but I got this message back after I sent it:

“Warrior102 has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

If you are trying to send this message to multiple recipients, remove Warrior102 from the recipient list and send the message again.”

for me, "redneck country" means the area where most of my relatives live (Louisiana and Mississippi north of the Gulf Coast)... it's not in any way meant to be a pejorative term... it's just meant to define that area in relation to where I live, which is the Gulf Coast Cajun Country... my apologizes if you took offense at it...
