If it's good enough for Jeff Albertson it's good enough for me.

I don't know who that is, but this seems to be the way I hear it a lot on television.  Reading it online I've always said "mot" though.

What I really hate though is "Playsure"/"Maysure"/Theayter".

e moshia kahns, i dont think the "emoticon" spelling is totally standard,

i say both thee-ter and thee-ay-ter, depending on where its placed in a sentence
my dialect has a stonger stressing emphasis


my dad says may-zhur and worshington, and worsh, i gave him some **** last week for calling turbines turbans

I say ee-maht-i-cahn, and I also pronounce gib with a hard 'g' even though I know it's derived from giblet with a soft 'g'.*  I also say kill-oh-mee-ter instead of kill-ahm-uh-ter because of the pronunciation patterns of the words centimeter, kiloliter, thermometer, and odometer.

This is because I am a hypocrite.


*I feel like I should note that the real word "gib" is pronounced with a hard 'g' and that I'm referring to the slang term for bloody body parts in video games, just in case anyone here knows what to call a castrated tomcat.

Considering the base is emote (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/emote), the correct answer is "ee-mote-ickons"

EasyCure is like that kid in class that everyone loves to make fun of because it's way too easy; there's so much wood around that you can't help but build a fire. He's the type of guy that if your feeling bad about your day, shitting on him will make you feel better.

Isn't that right, EasyCure?
