Posted in on Facebook. It's very interesting.

And yes, America, they're three different ways to say Mary/Merry/Marry!!!

Truth. They need the one for upstate NY where anything that ends in --tary, such as documentary, the emphasis is on TARY, like terry in terry cloth towel. It's almost treated like a whole new syllable. Seden-TARY. Documen-TARY. Elemen-TARY.

 

[Dar-Dar]

Very cool. lol.

'Murca!

 

[Nix]

That's just cause we say our A's very hard.

My friends out in CA used to make me say words with A's in them just so they could have a laugh.

The one with the pronounciation for Pecan.... Yeah, had to say that a lot.

Oh oh oh. Talk to my girlfriend bro. It's hoagie all day long and she's from south Jersey.

Me: what do you call a long sandwich with cold cuts and cheese?
Her: hoagie.
Me: what do you say to people who say otherwise?
Her: nothing. They're just wrong. (she left out the part with the staring look that would kill mere mortals).

They are not, subs, grinders, heroes They are Hoagies

 

[Nix]

Sub. It's a sub. WTF is a hoagie....

Also... there is this weird place near me where they speak of this "poutine" and say "eh" after everything.

I grew up an hour away from where I work and the differences are startling.

Soda vs pop

 

[Dar-Dar]

I had to search what a hoagie was.

 

[FooBird]

Her: paJAMas? That's just stupid.
Me: That's what I say.
Her: You're stupid.

Ya, BTW Correct pronunciation is "poo-tin".....I've heard so many people mispronounce this word eh.

Oh, and for the record this letter -----> Z
Is pronounced "zed" not "zee". We speak English and in England the letter is called zed.

 

[Pauly99to17]

"Runners" not sneakers.

 

[Pauly99to17]

"Slurpy" not slushy. (Well in west Canada that's we called them)

 

[Pauly99to17]

"Donair" not gyro

 

[Nix]

Im a fan of beaver tails on the Rideau canal......

 

[Monk]

Mmmmmmmm. Poutine, eh.

Now I take it that has nothing to do with poontang ?
