I don't drink coffee in the office, but I have been given severe side-eye from counter staff when I ordered a cup the other day.  They tried to 'fix' how I pronounce it and it just didn't work.  They also tried to teach me how to say 'Hoosier', but something about my accent causes severe dipthong and it does not come out right.

I hate when that happens haha.  Like when I order biscotti. I say the Italian pronunciation and I always a response of, "Oh bisCOTTi? Ok."

Aunt = context driven pronunciation
Caramel = Car-muhl
Creek = Creek (like meek)
Pajamas = Puh-jah-muhs
Route = context driven pronunciation
Caught = cawt
Tiny lobster = cray-fish
Gym shoes = sneakers
Groceries go in a = cart or bag
Carbonated drink = Soda
Bug that rolls into a ball = potato bug or pill bug

Potato bug = CPB = destroys all the crops

Pill bug = lives under rocks and is cute

Only reason why they are differentiated where I am (I forgot about my Cornell Co-Op summer internships where I did potato and then viticulture for 2 years_

North Jersey is closer to NY accent

South Jersey is closer to Philly accent

central Jersey is a mix

Pinies = West Virginia

My face is sad right now.

As for Hoosier...they tried the "Whosyour" daddy with me.  It came out even weirder with the LI accent since we go higher at the end of 'whosyah' almost like a question, which means it doesn't sound correct.

"you all" is the weirdest sounding phrase I've ever heard. ... Well that's an exaggeration, but it does sound super weird.

I think you mean I done goofed.

 

[JayKay PE]

Both.

I'm literally sitting at my desk pronouncing 'mark' over and over under my breath.  I know what you're asking but I don't pronounce it with the hard 'A' or like mahk?  Like, I feel I say the 'a' normal, but further back in my throat?  It's weird, I can't like explain it?

Alrighty spammers, I have about 3.5 hours to get edits to this report wrapped up. Love that most of the people I work with are an hour behind, it gives me more wiggle room I have a date with the Perfect Concentration playlist on Spotify. Have a great day!
