He thought all the women cashiers and waitresses were trying to pick him up because they called him "hon" all the time. I had to burst his bubble that everyone here is "hon." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-are-into-such-things#post-1730477 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 05:12:42 +0000 Nishaa 1730477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find...

I love language. I lived in California until I was 10 and then Michigan ever since and I don't think we have accents at all! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-are-into-such-things#post-1730132 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 14:47:58 +0000 Anonymous 1730132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun site, I can't believe I didn't know about this.&nbsp; Thanks, mauvish!&nbsp; The "roof" conversation was hilarious!</p> <p>Janet, I have always been intrigued with the Baltimore accent.&nbsp; It's so unique.&nbsp; Don't be embarrassed, it's a cool thing!</p> <p>We had some Cajun neighbors when I was growing up in Houston, and even though we all spoke English, I couldn't understand anything they said for a very long time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-are-into-such-things#post-1730065 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:54:14 +0000 Janet 1730065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll have to check this out. I'm fascinated with dialects and language usage. </p> <p>The other day my husband caught me lapsing into a regional accent when I pronounced "water" as "wooder." As someone who has worked in broadcasting, I strived so to get the Bawlmer accent out of me years ago that it's embarrassing when it slips through. But I can give him grief when his east Texas slips out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-are-into-such-things#post-1730035 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 10:44:28 +0000 Summer 1730035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for brightening my day, Mauvish!&nbsp; The "roof" conversation had me in hysterics.</p> <p>Pronunciation is a funny thing, and words always sound so strange when someone says them differently from ourselves.&nbsp; Of course, our own way is always the right way!</p> <p>Long live regional accents and dialects: they bring such depth and variety to any language. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-are-into-such-things#post-1730024 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 10:09:48 +0000 Inge 1730024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that sounds right up my alley!
