Why Some of Y'all Talk Funny

[2&2 Slider To Leyritz]

i hear people from time to time say across but add a T to the end of it. never heard of acrosst before

You should axt them about why they do that.

 

[Toogs]

can we all agree that people who say supposably are fucktards? And yes I know it's a word they are using it in place of supposedly. It's rather fustrating.

Holy shit, how hard is it to pronounce merry? It rhymes with very or Reyshaun Terry, hence why they have the same vowels.

Sure but Terry also rhymes with marry. If you pronounce "very" like "veer-y" you say "Meery Christmas?" I really still don't understand the difference between the three.

I definitely get pin and pen, but just say them the same. I have no idea about Mary/merry/marry though.

Water:

wit-er (Pennsylvania)

Waa-tur: everywhere else.

my grandma (PA) says 'wootur'

My friend from Philly says "wut-er"...she said that she had no idea people thought it sounded weird until she moved away from the Philly area.

It's wood-er for sure. Although for some reason, I've always pronounced it the regular way.

Also "a whole nother"

 

[bojanglefunk]

So y'all say "May-ree Christmas"???

Or do you mean the Terry, which also rhymes with Mary and Marry.

GTFO

No, Terry does not rhyme with marry. Terry rhymes with very and berry and Jerry. Marry rhymes with scary and Larry. Those containing an "e" rhyme with each other, and those containing an "a" rhyme with each other. Pretty simple.

And who pronounces very like "veer-y"? I've heard it as "vurry", but not like "veer-y".

surely you're just trolling now. merry, terry, very, berry, marry, scary and larry all rhyme exactly. (to me.)

The Hoagie map is spot on.

my mom is from Maryland and adds an "r" to the word "wash" so she warshes dishes and visits Warshington DC. I've never heard anyone else do it so I'm thinking that maybe my mom is just a freak.

Seriously? Then why are they spelled with different vowels?

People definitely do this.

That's a big PA thing.

So you don't say "read" and "red" the same? Different vowels. What about "feat" and "feet." Or even better "fir" and "fur." Or "so" "sew" and "sow."

 

[lbE08]

My grandma says Mur-land. Both Mema and Nana say Sow-th

BUT DOES SHE SAY 'MURICA.

 

[Deacfreak07]

BUT DOES SHE SAY 'MURICA.

As opposed to what? Of course they know the name of the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.
