My husband is from Michigan and I, from Kentucky so everything he says sounds wrong to me...even "no" sounds wrong!

I have trouble with "Swarovoski" and I should know how to pronounce it since they are my "sparkle" of choice.

I have trouble with cordonned and concereige (did I even spell it right?), too.

And we don't EVEN need to start with what Mr Seagrover has trouble with saying - ok, we can............

Yiannis was Yiammies,

Anyone else want to contribute on Mr Seagrover?

Right there with ya on those crystals that start with an S

How much Alkehall have you had tonight? hmmm?

I am working on a huge project at work. I am doing some Automated Computer training for an Army program that is used all over the world by Army pilots/soldiers. As some of you know I am an Alabama country girl with the twang to go with it. Anway, with this project I have to record me telling them what to click on, what to type and so on...the guy that is working with me keeps telling me "Oh, my, they are going to love your voice". Of course, I hate to hear myself because I feel like I sound like I am right out of the backwoods of Alabama. There are so many words that are hard for me to pronounce in this training, but I just give it some twang, and he says "that will be just fine". I will be glad when it is over!!!!
As a retired Army aviator, I'd love to hear it.

Mine is Lobster. Even though I was raised in the south it's quite the struggle to get it to come out correctly and not the New England Lobstah.

About 3 years ago me and destinscuba went to Boston to visit relatives and we went to a Lobster shack. I got up to the counter and ordered 2 Lobstah plates. Destinscuba about peed himself laughing as I struggled repeatedly to try and say it Lobster.

Hey kitty, don't you have a problem saying pee? :D

I use to have a store called "collaborations". My grandmother could never get it right. One time while watching the store for me I called to check in and she answered "conspicuous relations" can I help you?

It is funnier when said in a full blown southern draw!
