We used "man'-ehs" on sand-whiches at our house. To me the New England accent is foreign. Why do they say "A" for "R" and "R" for "A"? They claim to live somewhere in Armericur, wherever that is.

I want my attorney to practice law (that's "La" as in La la la) and not "loy" as for those who are want to say Loy-yer.

via is vee-uh, not vye-uh

I don't mean to be de-vye-iv (devisive) nor duh-viss-iv.

May-hee-co= Mexico
Tay-haus= Texas (originally)

The Greek gets butchered more than any other language.

But I'm doing well just to be understood with my "Cali-Okie" accent so I can't complained.
