Well who shit in your cheerios!?

LOL.

I heard someone on the radio today pronounce "the 70's" as "the seven-tees"
i never heard anyone say that before. seventease. thats what it sounded like.

iunno, shit i always said sevendeez.
 
I am fairly proper with my pronunciation, although if I am "under the weather" during the course of a big night I have a nasty habit of dipping into my big bag of Australiana and producing a much less cultured accent.

And perhaps its because I live in Australia that I find the really broad, heavy Aussie accents so unbelievably annoying.

Incidentally, I have noticed that at least in Australia (Astraya), New Zealand (Niw Zelund) and South Africa (Suth Efricah) the accents tend to become much thicker the further away you get from the major centers of commerce. And in Australia, with its vast landmass, it is possible to get really, really far away from a major certer of commerce. Which is why, I propose, people from Far North Queensland and the Northern Territory often (not always) sound like such dickheads. Think Steve Erwin.
 
cool. i probably don't have the best pronunciation....girls often will often 'correct' me in a teasing manner when i meet them.
i hardly pronouce 'T's. I say them like you would say "aint". It's still there, but it's cut short, the tongue doesn't go to the roof of my mouth. or some words they turn more into a D sound.(water=wahdder, or how lacey says 'sevendees'.) "ing"s turn into "in"s.

Also my sister has teased me throughout my life how I pronounce double O's, or long U's. For some reason I exaggerate those. like, "Lets get some Food."

I also tend to blend words together which confuses people sometimes. It's not that I talk fast, usually, but I turn multiple words into less. For example, "What do you..." and "Can I get some..." turn into "whattuhyoo" and "caneyegetsum", like one whole word.

borrowing the words from the OP:

INTERESTED - innerested.
PAINTING - paint-in(like "aint")
INTERNET - innernet(that t is wierd to explain)
STUPID - stoopid
RETARTED - retardid
DIDNT - did-in. but once again, with that 'silent T' sound.
MIRROR - mear-er. i guess this one is normal.
DRAWER - i say this 'normal' too i guess. droor.


as far as grammar and word placement and all that....My style of talking probly isn't very congruent with how I talk online. Usually I try to be a little more proper online, using bigger words and shit but sometimes my true colors shine through.
 
Yo its funny , i am seein alot of old threads i made gettin bumped lately, wats up wit that? I know the prunein and all that but I didnt know yall liked my threads that much ;) <3 Or maybe I am jus feelin special for no damn reasion cuz this dope in my arm.
 
I talk rather proper for an Aussie...correct grammar always, and not many colloquialisms/slang etc.
I also have a pretty deep voice for a girl, and it's a rather nasal one at that.
 
People say I have a Wisconsin accent, but I don't really notice it in myself. I will notice it with other people though.

And when I get around other people from Louisiana I do pick it right back up. I also never grew out of some Louisiana slang. When the Katrina victims were all over the news I noticed a distinct difference in my speech.

I do this also- with all of my accents:)
I mostly have a very plain western US accent- (mainly no accent)
But certain words and at different times- I say things with an accent.
I was born in NJ and I have alot of family there- and my mother speaks with a Jersey accent- So I would say that comes out the most in me-
I lived in the south many years and will sometimes say Ya'll......and some words will just pop oout with a southern accent........
My father's family is from Illinois and I can hear the strange o's sometimes in things i say.......
If I am talking to my family- I pick up on their accent......or an accent on tv or in aa movie........
 
southern accent, I engage in hyper intelligent, deep, emotional, interesting conversations and force others around me up to my level.
 
I speak mostly as I write (:X), but with a thorough West-coast US accent.
I also harbor a couple of idiosyncratic contractions, eg, "whappensif" for "what happens if".
