I always wondered why she didn't catch on to everyone around her not saying it with a short a. I pronounce crayon cray'on. I know some people who say "crowns" and "cran" too. But then I tend to "over" pronounce words. I tend to add the "w" sound to words like white and whip. Weird.

For burglary, I want to say buglary (omitting the first r). It makes me sound so friggin' ridiculous when I say it like that. OK, off topic question. Do any of you pronounce the word "crayon" like "cran"? I have heard a few others who do. I do and my DH loves to give me crap about it.

Yep, I say "cran"...nobody really calls me on it though. I do get made fun of for how I say things like kitten and mitten. For some reason I make the t's kind of soft, my husband thinks this is hilarious!

Mr RR seems to spend his life laughing at me because I've got a "phone voice". Apparently when I'm on the phone I speak the Queen's English and pronounce my words properly and the second I'm off teh phone I turn into a voice slob.

According to him I have a phone voice, a court voice and a work voice which differ. Apparently my poshest voice is my court voice.

The sad thing is my phone voice kicks in regardless of who I'm on the phone to, I could be speaking to my mum and she will get the phone voice.
