[quote=Anonymous]I like these regional variations. It's funny, when one PP asked about breakfast, I immediately thought of my southern in-laws who say Bre-fix. I have always thought that is super cute! I admit I do relate to OP but it is with words like "realtor" and "nuclear." If I hear Nuke-u-lar, I immediately think of W. And Re-la-tor... I just don't get it. On an intellectual level, I get that it's the same linguistic phenomenon as our American pronunciation of "jewelry" as jew-le-ry but it's the unexpectedness of it. Are these regional pronunciations? [/quote]
