> I bet I pronounce a lot of stuff funny to yall! I can't tell the difference between 'ing' and 'een', so I must say it the 'een' way. Do you pronounce the 'g'?
****NOPE - No "g" Just 'askeen' you to be my friend, because I'm 'wanteen' someone to go 'skateen' with!!
I love having ooops - haveen fun talking like what I think a "sutherner" would talk like!
Now, mind you, I guess a Texan accent is different from other southern accents? or is it?****

> When I took a voice and diction class in college I found out southerners are worst about the long 'I'.****how do you say "i"? would 'bite' sound like 'bahht'??*******
I just could not say it right no matter how hard I tried. In fact, listening to myself on a tape recorder, I sounded like such a hick! I was like, OMG, do I really sound like that????
********lol******

> Oh, another thing I learned in voice and diction class, its pro-nun-ciation rather than pro-nounce- ciation.*********NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're kidding me, right???******
Now I always say it the correct way and everyone looks at me funny.
