[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I secretly find it cute when people mispronounce words like that because it is more like a dialect (like people in certain areas saying warsh instead of wash or dropping vowels) and I don't need to notify anyone else when I hear it, feel aggravated or start a thread[/quote] Op here. Warsh doesn’t bother me. Dialects are endearing. But I just can’t write off “ex-specially” as a dialect. To me it sounds like the mispronunciation of a child. We’ve all heard a 4 year old make such a mistake. It just sounds child-like more than anything else.[/quote] Ask yourself why you label some differences as dialects and some as mistakes. Is there a regional difference? Perhaps a racial or class difference? Your biases are coming out clearly in your post, even if you are blind to them.[/quote]
