▲ 96 ▼ What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) When I was in school, I had a teacher who insisted on pronouncing the word "across" as "acrosst". permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] klemptor@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago No thank you! That one really bothers me for some reason. Same as "eltse" for else, "foe-ward" for forward, "warsh" for wash, and "ayggs" for eggs. And some people say "heighth" for height and I swear it's just to fuck with me. permalink fedilink source parent
