PrinceCEE: I once had a British American professor who insisted on pronouncing 'schedule' as shesh-u-oll. At first i thought it was a blunder or maybe a speech impediment--nope that snobby bastard kept at it sometimes slowing down, enunciating every syllable as if Americans are the dvmbfucks who are saying it wrong not him. |
