learn to fucking speak, please.

so people need to fucking learn to speak.. Diction, people. DICTION!!!

please pronounce things correctly. i’m going to become a diction nazi if people don't learn to speak correctly and enunciate. all. the. syllables. and. consonants.

the worst offenders are, in no particular order of course:

(un)sweet tea
t’
priddy
axe(d)
warsh

people! people!!! they are pronounced (and spelled):

(un)sweetened iced tea
to
pretty
ask(ed)
wa<s>r</s>sh

i just want to rip people’s heads off when they say things incorrectly... granted, unsweetened iced tea is a mouth full when you pronounce all of the of -ed’s and and the -en, but it sounds correct and more formal and you sound as though you have been educated.

also, we have a huge habit of “duh”ing our “t”s, mostly i believe it is from either talking to quickly/fast and/or just laziness... i do it out of talking too fast because i have to get rid of my southern indiana drawlish/bumpkinish accent.
