TV Speak.............

[Bob Wright]

I watched the clips of that train wreck in Washington state. What had me going was references to the mare. Come to find out he was referring to the top city official.

And that thing they use in that game, the "baw-el" which is placed on the thirty yard line.

I'm beginning to think we need subtitles for folks speaking our own language.

Like y'all in TN don't have accents.

 

[Pat-inCO]

Accents can be discussed ad nausium. It is the lack of actual English
that bothers me. Just listen closely to what the taking heads actually say
and you will be more than disgusted.
(content AND wording)

 

[Rancher Will]

Doesn't bother me. It has been quite a few years since I have listened to any "talking heads" since we stopped subscribing to TV networks years ago. My wife and I both decided that paying good money to listen to continual Democrat Propaganda lies was foolish.

I'm not opposed to accents, its the affectation of TV commentators that grinds against my grain.

Accents? I'm from Boston so have no accent.

I pahk my cah around the connah and go in the sto-ah to buy a tonnic.

There are no news programs or talking heads in our home.
It's a quiet home where people we don't know are not allowed to come in and lie to us.
We never paid attention to how they spoke.
We paid attention to what they said.
That is the reason they are no longer welcome in our house.

What irritates me on TV is those shampoo commercials on TV. When they talk about having beautiful ha. Pronounced like hat without the T. What the heck is ha? Don't they know there is an "iR" on the end of that word?

Bob Wright,

How do you pronounce Mayor?

May-Ya? or...?

Me, I pronounce Mayor as Mare (yep, just like the female horse)but I all pronounce Sheriff as Sherff.

Rugerguy211,

Shoo-wah! And when you're thirsty you drink: Watt-ah

Two dimes and a nickel make a Quat-ah too....

 

[Taterman]

Mayor = May-Ya
You're = Yaw
Actor = act-ah
People accuse us of throwing away those R's. That's absurd. We don't throw them away. We put them on the end of words that need them, like dateR (data), or in the middle, like drawRing (drawing).
