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, the correct answer is "ee-mote-ickons"

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

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?
