I use Axe on my armpits every day.

Legitimate question though. It's a piddly 3-letter word, shouldn't be all that hard to pronounce. And sure enough the mere ASKING of the question brings out the racism card.

What a world we live in.

Why do people from Las Vegas use 'allot' when the correct form in this case would be 'a lot'. (Determined by my stereotyping of ALL people from Las Vegas, based on the OP's improper use of the word 'allot').

What really fucking annoys me is the Asian community using the word innit (isn`t it).

"look at my wicked car innit"
"I already knows it, innit"
"know what I mean innit"
"I fucking showed him man innit"

To be fair, it`s not just an Asian thing but the youth of today demonstrating what a pile of shit our English education system is.

I've even done a pre-emptive *i'm doing a family reunion at my place* to make sure it doesn't happen there.

btw, YOUR guy Clinton pronounced it that way also, as you know, he from the South, but not Texas.

:winkwink:

Yes he was from a little state called ARKANSAS - inexplicably pronounced Ar - Kan - Saw . I used to imagine it was what Kansas was aspired to be, i.e. the Ur-Kansas, but no, I think it is actually a touch shittier even than Kansas. Props on getting out of Texas with your sanity intact - I have several friends who say exactly what you say about it.

My pop was often mistaken for being a brit but he was a southern boy born and bred in Mississippi. He was a PH.D theoretical mathematician and attended the same Swiss school that all the great scientists went to including Einstein. As soon as people found out his accent was actually southern then they typically treated him like he was a racist hick, which he was anything but.

Having an issue and perception of someone based on the way they pronounce words is just inane. :2 cents:

why can't a lot of english speaking people not say juan, they say wuan or something like that. It is just plain stupid spanish and easy as fuck. Except when they are talking about the film don juan demarco. Then they can pronounce it correctly.

AA speak their own version of English - AA English - Ebony English. Put it in google. They grow up in area where parents, friends and also their teachers speak Ebony English. Even some books have been adjusted to Ebony English. And once you grow up its hard do change smth you used your whole live, especially thing like language.

Oh yeah...that one is the worse. The one I really hate is when people mispronounce the word Advertisement to Add vertisment or so it sounds. :error
