"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I also can't pronounce Mary, marry, and merry differently (unless, again, I over-exaggerate the vowels).

Regional accent, common in the South that my mom bequeathed to me.

Which is why I got so much shit at my Alma Mater for pronouncing it "Kinyon" half the time.

Also much mockery when I ask for a writing implement as I don't distinguish between "pen" and "pin."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Vowels are all pretty blurry if you ask me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am Steph's pronunciation. I only have like 3 vowel sounds, but I can make almost anything 2 syllables if I'm getting my Texan on.

I have played in dirt! pulled some weeds, deadheaded (new knowledge) some on the front rose bush. planted all but 8 of the things I have to plant. 2 are going into the ground, 4 are going into big planters I already have. That leaves two and I need more planters. I think I am going to take a break, then walk the house making note of the things I have been thinking I need from Lowe's and take a fast trip there.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I remember in high school, the nuns tried so hard (in vain) to get us to pronounce "twenty" as "twen-tee," not "twunny". The flat midwestern accent is a bitch.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Did not sleep well last night. Between my phone beeping because of low battery(and having to get up to plug it in to charge it) and Nova yowling frequently, I woke up a lot this morning.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't pronounce the initial vowels in Aaron and Erin differently, but the o and i are definitely two separate sounds.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That sounds amazing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

msbelle, that sounds delicious.

ltc's teacher sent her a handwritten note congratulating her on finishing the preschool workbook we've been doing at home. Such a wonderful woman.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I did the walk there and Uber back! First Uber in a month, but now I have 4 tomatoes, 4 peppers, 2 zucchini and some Kale.

I pronounce Erin and Aaron differently, but other people in Rochester do not. This is possibly why they ask me if I am Canadian. I also think Kerry and Carrie sound different.
