Is Suthen a mispronunciation, missy?

How 'bout them Anglish? Ah thay all talkin' rong?

Or Ebonics? Is that simply stupidity? American blacks are to be allowed no unique pronunciation of their own?

Dating myself, my first trip to England was 25 years ago. I was on a train from London to Harrogate which went on to Glasgow. There was a Scotsman aboard. He was a talkative sort- -but I couldn't understand a word he said. Honest. But I COULD tell he was speaking English.

I don't think he would have appreciated your telling him he couldn't.

But REALLY getting to the point, are you aware James Earl Carter, 39th President of the United States, pronounced it nukular. And he were a nukular inginer.

You were saying?
