I say Off-en and golf.

Do you say axe instead of ask? Phome instead of phone? Deaf instead of death? 👨🏿‍🦱

You forgot about boff instead of both.

On that note, my pastor says ‘bolth’ instead of ‘both.’ Always adds an L. Makes my skin crawl.



I just realized I say “bolth” reading this response.

I say “gulf” not to confuse it with “goff” like Angie Goff.

Often - I say it like off-den.

I’m living in Virginia fwiw.

I just assume people don't read. They can barely spell so it's no wonder they can't pronounce words correctly. We have a literacy problem, it's not all just dialects and accents the folksy people want us to believe.

I have hard consonants. I'm from NYC and Long Island but was taught to fight the accent pretty hard so I don't have a lazy tongue.

I had a dance instructor who would always say “foe-ward, foe-ward, foe-ward.”
