We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
BWAH!!
I'm at work and 3 people in the past 30 minutes have just said "cahton" as in carton of cigarettes/milk/etc. Now, I have always pronounced the R. Am I wrong on that as well?
Skyzy, no you are so very correct.
We have a friend from Northern California that pronounces "almond", "Am-mund".
WTF is that?
"It is a far far better thing I do, than I have ever done." From carton to Carton. And yeah, I always say the R.
"Am-mund".
That's how you say it!
I say it "Awl-mund", possibly even "All-mond". Not sure at the moment. I have said it so many times that semantic saturation has taken place and I don't even know what the original word was any more.
That's how you say it!
Is not!
Is too! Webster's says it both ways, but ah-mond is preferred.
