Next time, ask her who Mel is, and accuse her of having an affair.

"And then I says to him...". I hate that.

Many years ago, a woman from church told me I didn't sound like I had grown up

Most of the "Utahisms" that get talked about on this board...

I should clarify, it's mainly rural Utah. Pioneer stock types.

Zach Morris

Rural anywhere is going to have their speech issues.

Lived in Utah my whole life and I've never heard most of those that way.

Walter Bellhaven

I don't think you're correct.

Americans generally do not annunciate T's. Not just Utahns.

Zach Morris

3/20/13 8:13am

It's called a "glottal stop" and its very exaggerated in Utah, they credit this

Leave Toole. Problem solved.

I've lived in Utah my whole life as well, grew up in St. George, or is it Jarge?

rbeers78

3/20/13 8:13am

To be fair, those who pronounce them that way also spell them that way.

John Doe

LOL, my kids always tease their Idaho cousins about pellow and melk.

Freddie Cougar

It may be more of a rural pioneer settlement thing than a Utah thing.

Zach Morris

3/20/13 8:15am

So unless people do things your way, they're doing it wrong?

srey

3/20/13 8:18am

What? I never said it was wrong. I said I didn't like it. Now go back to

Zach Morris

"It's not OK." = I don't like it? I think most people would agree that

^^^ speaks with the accent ^^^

Zach Morris

3/20/13 8:28am

Nope. I'm a linguist, and enunciate sounds very clearly.

srey

You mean that place you call home? Remind me what part of hickville

I have never heard the Utah accent, don't believe it really exists

jes2332

3/20/13 8:16am

It's real and it's awful.

snowbird

3/20/13 8:20am

Definitely exists

Spyencer and Yemily disagree.

vacougfan

3/20/13 8:29am

Melk and pellow are the worst. It's mIlk! I want to smack people.

Byu Badger

3/20/13 8:35am

That must be isolated to your wife's family. I don't hear people talk like that.

John Doe

3/20/13 8:40am

Yeah you're right, it's just my family. And everyone else's in the thread that

Zach Morris

3/20/13 8:46am

You do have a point. I don't live in or have family in the hick towns Utah. But

John Doe

3/20/13 8:52am

Yeah , you cultured folks from Spanish fork and Davis county wouldn't

Zach Morris

3/20/13 2:05pm

That's "Spanish Fark" to you.

John Doe

What a great Christ-like thing to discuss

JEStout62

3/20/13 8:42am

fattycoug

3/20/13 8:44am

You're going to have to specify which region you are talking about, because I

Y-er

3/20/13 8:47am

For a nice example of what Morris is referring to, the guy doing the Maverick

SparseMesh

Either your description of it is terrible or you're exaggerating quite a bit.
