Why do petty little things bother us sometimes? Like how people pronounce certain words, and other stupid stuff. I think we allow them to get under our skin, so the more we hear them, the louder it gets until it explodes. It's about to explode right here. Pretty innocuous explosion....but then again, I am pretty boring.
The word "Always" has a dang "L" in it. It's not pronounced "Oh-weez". Same with "Oh-most" or "Oh-ready".
What ever happened to the letter "L"? Even at the end of a sentence, it is not being pronounced. Like able, has become "A-boo." (I'm feeling better "already"!!!)
Comfortable has four syllables. Com-fort-a-ble. Not "Comf-ter-boo". Ing is being pronounced "Een". Interesting also has four syllables. In-ter-est-ing, not "in-trist-een". Oh, here's one! Forward has an "R" in it. It is not "Fo-ward". I hear so many people on TV saying fo-ward. Bugs me. (Yes, I know that was a sentence fragment---some things I don't care about.) The poor word "Probably" gets murdered! Here is the downward progression of probably: Prob-ly, prolly, pro-y, even heard pry a few times! Poor little left-out syllables!!
Our fast-paced society shortens everything from ATM to OMG to WTF. Let's take the time to slow down and pronounce our syllables, okay?
