The word is.......ImporTant..not imporDant

[SoCalDem]

More and more I am hearing lazy people turning T s into Ds..:grr:


Are little kids not taught anymore, how to sound words out, and what the letters sound like?

These are grownups constantly mispronouncing EASY words, and no one ever corrects them..

This is NOT about *², since he is "toDally" beyond help :evilgrin:

I want to crawl through the television and strangle him whenever he says that word.

Or whenever he doesn't.

10. oh like...

jew-ler-y and ree-la-tor and prolly?


until the last few years, phonics was forbidden in our local public schools ( teachers were fired for even attempting to teach it at little . 'kidspell' was used.

i sent my daughter instead to a school that taught phonics. twenty years later, the public schools adopted the same system. twenty years!!

13. But I like to say diddent instead of didn't. Does that make me a bad

pronounciator?
