Long standing argument between my wife and i,
Do you say wash, washer, etc.....

or
worsh, worsher, etc....

and does anyone have any other disputed words?

Here in Western Mass (inside of 495,Boston and suburbs, is it's own little country), we say it with an "A" . My cousins from MD however, would say it with the "O" .

Same here in eastern Mass.

Here in Oklahoma, I have to ask... What is this Wash/Worsh that you speak of?

Jeebus, even you damn Yankee's can't understand each other!
And you got nukes!
Oy, it wasn't the meek that shall inherit the earth... it's a bunch of Walmart shoppers who bastardize the Queen's English!
(But you ain't as bad as them Brits, or god forbid.... Aussies!)

The "correct" way is "wash", but many people's accents won't allow them to say that, especially in the south. It's just one of those things that creeps into a regional accent or dialect that sounds right to them, but wrong to everyone else. I'm not saying that it's wrong or that people in the south are wrong (especially since I'm from Texas), but I'm saying that this is an example of something you will find with just about every different group of English speaking people.

So it's kinda like both compaired to bolth?

Mr_Tricorder · « **Reply #9 on:** August 03, 2005, 11:07:41 am »

by the way, lickkerpig
Don't EVER call someone from the south a Yankee. That's probably the easiest way to get your ass beaten to a pulp (just FYI

)

d00d,

Ah bes fum n00 Yawk Siddy.

I know that, but it sounded like he was referring to all Americans as Yankees. Most Southerners find being referred to as a Yankee extremely offensive.

E_Look · « **Reply #12 on:** August 03, 2005, 03:38:00 pm »

Ah, Canucks 'n' Brits 'n' Aussies... I guess we all look alike to them!

Well, if they think we all SOUND alike, they really need to get their ears checked.

Shoot! After listening to one of you Suthhin' boyz, I think I need to check my ears... or the dictionary!
