Subject: RE: BS: Emma Thompson attacks poor language
I am so glad we left the Audrey Hepburn / Emma Thompson comparisons behind. Like measuring apples against oranges.

I like the turn towards little kids mispronunciations. So I am going to contribute to the current thread drift.

Me? I had undetected hearing difficulty until I was 5 so my language development was pretty impeded. My creative attempts are remembered by my family to this day.

elephant = dunfincent
helicopter = hopiclopper
spaghetti and meatballs = bohammy and meehaws

Best I heard from my Andie were

mosquitoes = spugitas
spinach kopita = spanky peter
