Why is that word pronounced like that Daddy?

Well honey, it's a Latin word. No, hang on, it might be Greek. Or Norse. Or, ahhhh, maybe French, or German.

Ummm.

Just remember how it's pronounced, honey.

When I was in england... I was politely laughed at because I couldn't understand plain "english" and had such a thick accent "kalifornia/southern"

I said.. "Well.. if I am the one with the accent then how is it that you guys can understand every word I say but I can't understand a frigging word you say?"

I also pointed out that when they sing they sound like they are from kalifornia.

stammering and "uh" sound the same in both languages.

We might replace the english language with text messaging abreviations and symbols!
