while I was watching a Micheal Moore's movie, "
Sicko", I noticed that when Moore was in Canada (I really don't remember what part of Canada was) people, especially the elderly, usually made enfasis on the pronaunciation of the letter
H when followed by the the letter
W, basically they pronounced the
H in words, such as "While", "What", "Why", "Which", "whip", etc
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




or is it just some sort of regional or local dialect ??, or is it that those words have alternative pronunciations that I din't know about till now, therefore, both pronunciations would be correct ??
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)
