Much love, askye.
In pronunciation news, I'm going to have to take a completely contrary position. I love accents and dialects, so odd pronunciations even ones I think are "wrong" don't bother me usually. I love the ways words change on different parts ofthe country and world; plus, who can really say what the correct one is?more standardized, sure, but wrong? I think it just depends on your perception. I'm a liberal commie when it comes to these things, I guess.
Now that I've said this, of course, I'm going to think of a bunch of exceptions.
Well, there are things that are regionalisms or accents and things that are just wrong. They ping very differently.

I'll be over in the liberal commie corner snorgling Pix. I always have fun when I have characters with accents, trying to evoke that in dialogue without being obnoxious about it. It's a challenge and I have great fun with it.
So long as it's not "tweezles."
I had an editor, one is normally pretty good, change "complement" to "compliment".
Don't know how many good editor points he loses for that one but...

I'm with Kristin and Barb...especially after taking the history of the English language course I took last Fall. Fascinating stuff, how the English language has changed. And, really? Each one of those examples above would prove (not the word I'm looking for, but the right word isn't coming) something I learned in that class.
((askye)) Peace~ma.
Feel better ~ma for Raq.
We have no water because of a water - either the water main down the road has broken (again) or the dog worked some magic so she wouldn't get the bath we had planned for her tonight.

But...it's not even *spelled* chipoLte.
(Unsurprisingly, I was a pedantic little 7-year-old who could not abide my classmates saying puh-sketti. Come on, even a 5-year-old can see the S comes first! [that would have a winky emoticon if I used them])

That is *excellent.*
And because it needed a separate post --
askye, that's so tough, but I'm glad it was as good as it could be. She was lucky to have you as her human.

It looked like a mess on Tuesday. They'd closed the road to traffic.
