 Posted: Sun May 20, 2012 3:21 pm Post subject: Accent Survey! |
|
Per brief discussion in spam thread about word choices, I found the Accent Survey on Youtube. Here is mine, not on vidding profile for obvious reasons. Take it. You know you want to!

We pronounce "data," "mayonnaise," and "syrup" differently -- I think "New Orleans" was slightly different too, haha! And you said 'daddy-long-laiiigs' to my ears -- slightly more Southern.
The survey is terribly dorky -- but entertaining!

At least you don't say 'cyoo-pon'! That pronunciation makes my eyelid twitch, every time! 
(No offense to anyone who does pronounce it that way. I don't have a Noo Yawk accent or anything, but I do do the 'Nyork' pronunciation, which probably triggers people's buttons too, haha.)

Coupon. People put a 'y' in there and every time I hear it, it's like Terminator must destroy. Might be just a Northeastern pronunciation, though?

I love both of your accents! Americans pronounce most things very differently from me

Can't wait to hear yours Debbie! I always thought the Scottish accent was one of the coolest sounding but also hard to understand at times
