BB, I've got that thick Eastern North Carolina accent that I couldn't get rid of even living in Raleigh for 10 years. And yes, there is a difference.

how does "mass-a-TOO-setts" even have anything to do with being a hick?

i'd say it has to to with being someone who doesn't know basic phonetics

There's probably a linguistic reason that so many people swap the "ch" for a "t."

better than you being like "oh, they're just severely butchering the pronunciation of the word, don't give them shit for it, leave them alone, just let them sound like idiots when they're 30 years old and pronounce the word like a 4 year old"

its not an argument

i don't give people shit if they pronounce 'idea' as 'idear' or anything else widely accepted as a minor difference in native vernacular

but Massatoosetts makes you sound like an idiot if you say it, I'm trying to point that out to the people who say it so they don't continue to make fools of themselves

meanwhile, you come in and white knight people who suck at the English language, for some completely moronic reason

This thread reminds me of the thread from many years ago when ambrosia1231 and I were arguing over the pronunciation of plantain.

i guess i'm just as bad as bubblebobble since i'm spending so much time trying to correct people's pronunciation of a simple word, which is a state in the USA

but i really don't see why he's spending so much time trying to tell people its ok to completely butcher a common proper noun when you're at least 20 years old

people can't always easily change how they say things
