Well, I think perhaps there are more differences between the Northern U.S. and the Southern U.S. than there are between the Northern U.S. and Southern Canada. I've known people from New York and Detroit coming down here and having culture shock. 8O

I say LEE-shure, URB, Ant, SKEH-joo-allll, and that is all.

I just thought you guys should know, not that any of you really care.

Ah! So you do have an accent! I'm with you all the way up to Ant. At no time do I pronounce AU as either the A in Bat or the O in Got. Aunt is Aunt (unless it's my Aunt Deborah, and we've always called her Ain't Deborah for some reason). AU is AU, except in some foreign words where it can be pronounced like OU in Out or O in Ode.

I had 4 cups o' coffee this morning.

Lol! That sounds like something I would do

It's confusing though, 'cause . . . Like . . . The coffee pot doesn't measure well, so if you want 18 cups of coffee, you're only gonna end up with 6 or 7. It doesn't measure EXACT cups. It's horrid.

Perhaps you're drinking your coffee out of a SOUP MUG!!!

I have that, but it's my Mom's and I think she purposely put it in the HIGH cabinets so couldn't reach it 'cause she's afraid I'll break it. I'm sure of it.
