Yeah, I say the middle thing there as I would in "bat" or "pad".

Whereas southerners say it as in "halve" or "march".

They are just trying to be posh.

Only as much far as you're just trying to be common.

The southern accent isn't an affectation, just like the northern accent isn't. We can't help the way we talk any more than you can.

Come to the East of England where, in charming local fashion, the letter "t" has disappeared from usage. It's been replaced with the underrated gluttol stop.

Long as it's not that Old English or Middle English.

Yeah, you wouldn't mind saying "Alles klaar, schweinhund!" (sp?) would you? I'm aware it doesn't make a great deal of sense, but I've always wanted to hear someone say it.

Seems as though Bostonians can't pronounce the letter R... Yet in the south the over use the R (i.e. wash).

My wife pronounces Italian as "eye"-tellin'. I say "uh"-towel-un.

My old math teach couldn't say "both"... she always said "bolth" <--note the "L" that slipped in there.

One think that bugs me is "Caribbean", is there a correct way to say it?

Also, the word "learned", is it learn-ed or learn'd?

Lurn-ed is for the adjective. He is a learned individual.
Lurnt is for the verb. He learnt to play the guitar.

I have an odd accent, even for a Canadian.

People I live near ask how long I've been in-country.

When NZ'ers hear Aussies say "sex" we hear "six" and when they say "six" we hear "sex".

And Vice Versa when Aussies hear us speak those words. It can be funny sometimes.
