You are so right, words and their correct pronunciations----Who is correct? We will never ever know. I am from Wisconsin and now live in Eastern Ohio near Pittsburgh and to hear the name Cinncinnati pronounced just kills me----the regionals say "Cinncinaata" and here is another one that kills me--------
"Awl youse" (All you) But actually, we should just learn to accept people and the way they say things---We have a German exchange student with us and he always insults the way us Americans do things or say things-----Well I think that when we go to Germany----we would be sent back if we sounded as insulting as him.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do" as the old saying goes and it seems people have forgotten that.
And how about this one--"Are ya goin to get yor hairs cut."
