Nobody's going to tell people in Texas to stop saying "anyBODY' instead of "anybuddy." Nor should we tell people in Boston to stop pronouncing their R sound like the A sound.

Regional accents are fun and make language interesting.

I'll stop making fun of Utahns when they learn to pronounce "crayon," "miracle,"

Interesting that Utah has shifted more toward "soda" than "pop" based on those

benny1982

That's the one positive trend

When I was a kid in Utah, no one I knew said “soda”. Now, no one I know says “pop”.

Same. Except for me. I still say pop. I'm old school.

Wait, that people say cauleeflower? That just sounds gross.

Don't knock it until you try it. Dalmatianflower isn't bad either, with a side of kimchi and rice.

Yes. However, most people point out the way we say mountain as something

CSoul

Agreed, though there is another pronunciation that is definitely unique to Utah.

benny1982

8/9/18 1:56pm

True, but most of the mocking is from the t being absent

Let's 'worsh' the car in the 'porking' lot.
