I bet I pronounce a lot of stuff funny to yall! I can't tell the difference between 'ing' and 'een', so I must say it the 'een' way. Do you pronounce the 'g'?
When I took a voice and diction class in college I found out southerners are worst about the long 'I'. I just could not say it right no matter how hard I tried. In fact, listening to myself on a tape recorder, I sounded like such a hick! I was like, OMG, do I really sound like that????
Oh, another thing I learned in voice and diction class, its pro-nun-ciation rather than pro-nounce- ciation. Now I always say it the correct way and everyone looks at me funny.
