So I was thinkin about this and I can't explain it.

So, there's actually a lot of good reasons for this.....

So in Germany it is very common for someone to begin a question or statement with "so". But it is a different language

"Fixin"

Er, for "school", do they they say shool or skool? If skool, why not say skedule instead of shedule. :)

Lets Cerebrate about it.....

I heard this several years ago from a friend. She was asking a woman how to spell someone's name that contained an apostrophe. (like D'Andre)

The lady was spelling it out and said: D comma up high Andre.

So the apostrophe is no more.

Maybe we need to put them together with Californians. We can take Californians use of “the” in front of highway numbers and let the Brits use it in front of hospital.

Gawd I've been around enough Brits that even I occasionally say "sheduule", because of course there's no "k" in schedule. Then they get distracted and wander off when I bring up "school"...

And I, and many of my colleagues at the place that made the first A-bomb, will die on the hill of mispronouncing nuclear. It's frequently "nukular" given the right audience.

If ya only have yams with turkey on Thanksgiving Day is that a fixin too :D?

I'm going to stop saying "gonna"...

How bout "gunna"?

Except in Germany they say “zo” as in: “zo, all electrical problems, first thing vee do is shake de foose!

You do not want to take advice on pronunciations or vocabulary from me. If you hear me say pen and pin they sound exactly the same. My accent completely prevents me from saying things correctly. On the other hand, my accent makes me very identifiable.

When I use voice to text, every time I say going to, it comes out gonna.

Drives me nuts.

For some reason, I recently noticed that some Brits tend to pronounce this letter > H
'haitch'

whereas 'murricans seen to pronounce it
'aitch'.

Aah, the apostrophe, aka the flying comma. :)

One of my good friends married a woman from Virginia and one of my good friends is from Kentucky. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about.

If I think about the pronunciation of pen and pin, there is a tiny difference, but I suspect if there was a recording of me in conversation that included both words, they'd probably sound exactly the same.

If pen and pin don't sound exactly the same when you say them....

Then you ain't from around here ;)!

Had a 4th semester Spanish professor who was from Madrid ... his "thang" was enunciation....

He'd literally spend 10 minutes trying to get someone to pronounce "Hola" to his satisfaction....

...before giving up and moving on to his next feeble attempts :D.
