[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do older generations pronounce adults differently? [/quote] Ad-dult There’s a hint of a British accent in older generations - think Morgan Freeman. [/quote] Oh, okay, like ADD-ult instead of uh-DULT. It's an emphasis on a different syllable. [/quote] Is this really a generational thing as opposed to a regional thing? I can think of some generational differences. My FIL always refers to "the wife" rather than referring to "my wife" or calling her by name, which seems like an anachronism to me. I don't think later generations are nearly as likely to use a term like that. [/quote] That just his misogyny showing. [/quote]
