blanx, e-mail me sometime so we can take this out of Daves thread before we go any further with our on little hijack.
Let me know if you want or need any info or if you are really even interested for that matter.
Yes a Hatfield boy did marry a McCoy girl but she died giving birth to their first child and according to both families they lived in sin since it was still in the heat of battle.
If you do e-mail me make sure you put your screen name or SDMB in the subject otherwise I will lose you to my junk filter.
While we’re at it, who pronounces “electricity” as “electrizzzzity”?
And no “easy/greasy” arguments, either (not that I can think of, anyway):
Felicity.
Audacity.
Synchronicity.
City! (though as a teenager, when my friends and I had outbreaks of pimples we may as well have been living in New York Zitty.)
Here in Seattle, I say “grease-E,” except when I’m talking about those “greezy Spaniards.”
(Said with as much Python inflection as I can manage.)
Did he also say “yous” when he meant “you”? As in, “So, what’ll yous guys have?” That drives me just nuts - if any of yous guys out there use this, be aware that it makes you sound like a moron.
Guys -> Guyz
Yous -> Youz
Please -> Pleaze
Ease -> Eaze
Easy -> Eazy
Grease -> Greace (noun)
Grease -> Greaze (verb)
Greasy -> Greazey
Gas -> Gas
Use -> Uze
Not sure what my point is here, just wanted to share.
I agree with the Aussies …Greezee. Though it’s fish and chips NOT fesh and cheps 
But the one I hate is A-loo-min-nim. That just sounds soooo wrong! It’s Al-u-min-ni-um
Oh and it’s OZZies not Aus-sies. 
Huh. Next you’ll be telling me that the leader of the most powerful nation in the world doesn’t know how to pronounce “nuclear” correctly.
G’day Calm Kiwi, Kiwi here too. I tried to save my Aussie wife from this country, but somehow I got stuck here. Oh well, it’s-a not so bad, it’s a nice-a place… etc.
Tis a lovely place…they just talk funny

Shut up-a your face, OK!
