pronouncing something is such a drag.
looking for the queens english, is quite rude. we all r doing our best. shorthand sometimes. in my job i get to speak to 3 people with a lisp. the idea is the matter. the pronounciation is irrelevant. a canuck in usa is always asked to say ROOF. and they laugh. but we laugh when they ask us. because we have to ask your definition. put your touque on in the yukon, cuz it's cold out there, in the winter. actually do have the queen of england visiting edmonton on monday. celebrating a 100 years of alberta. YOU might notice the queen, is not really capable of being rude. a book was written in the usa, called amy vanderbuilt's book of etiquette. perhaps you should consult it. well by all means BRAG to your friends you have NO faults, and unless they are scum, they will nail you to an appropriate tree. relax, enjoy. if ya got better then PRINT IT. by the way i am the true human i always have faults, and people love me cuz i just keep trying. those who never try, never fail. good day and grand weekend we will all have dug88 "Shaun aRe" wrote in message eenews.net... "pavane" wrote in message ... "cathyxyz" wrote in message ... Bell Jar wrote: I don't know what is wrong w/ me but I CAN NOT say that word (Worcestershire). I have tried and tried ... so in my house I call it W sauce ... I just try not to say it anywhere else. Don't blame you. I just use "Wooster-sauce" and most people know what I mean. Nice stuff, though. The closest attempt that is sort of easy is "wister-sheer," which if said quickly enough generally isn't noticed. This joins a whole raft of words that are tricky for some people: asterisk, nuclear, marzipan... I think asterisk is my favorite of all for weird mispronunciations, tho, probably because I spent so much time in the computer industry. pavane What about 'turmeric' - so many seem remove the r altogether, making it 'tumeric', which almost sounds like a cancerous by-product or summink. That one, for some reason, has always bugged me a little... heh... Shaun aRe |
