| I've always thought that words like what, were pronounced as in "wut", which as in "wich", and while as in "wiel", intead those poeple pronounced what, like "w-Hat" or even "hw-at", and which like, 'w-Hich" or hw-ich. So my question here is simple, Have I been pronouncing these words incorreclty all this time any thought on that. why does it happen? Oh, something else. if this way of saying the "WH" sound is right, then where exactly do people talk like that? in what parts of The United States and canada BTW, I found a video that's very helpful, were someone talks the way I just explained, (that's for those who are going to come here and say that I just made that up coz, no1 talks like that, I know you guys are going to show up, LOL) Here's the Video: YouTube - Family Guy - New Cool Whip oh, I found another one LOL YouTube - Family Guy - Cool Whip Last edited by loui; 12-Oct-2009 at 02:06. |
