Meme of the Voice! by isweedan
I...do not know what that creaking noise my microphone is picking up is?

A Wiki link to celebrate the fact that there are are actually terms for 'I say words differently when I am pronouncing them for other people.'

And here's the entry on Spelling Pronounciation because I totally say forehead the spelling pronunciation way. Thanks for being my google buddy
ljmckay !

And here's the page on 'the devil is beating his wife'.

There are lots of other questions the meme-as-LJ-has-it doesn't have! Check some out hurrr.

This meme reminds me of when we talked about the Dictionary of American Regional English in my linguistics classes in undergrad. We did much more of the questions then and looked at the distribution maps. it was fun!

Ah! Nostalgia <3
