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”.

My sister still does. Drives me crazy.

8/9/18 1:57pm

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

8/9/18 1:53pm

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

CSoul

It's a legit regional accent; love it and wear it with pride 🙂

Pictures = "pitchers", Mayonnaise = "maaa-nayz".

Who the heck says "Call EE flower?" Rednecks, that's who.

I grew up in Colorado and I’ve always said cray-on

The most annoying mispronunciation that you find everywhere. Expecially.

CSoul

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

Porking lot?
