Do YOU say your H'S??

[LindsayDunn228]

I've never heard anyone say it without pronouncing the "H". So y'all say "vee-ickle" ?

Seriously. I have never heard anyone pronounce that was.

Vee-ickle -- the accent is on the vee, not the ickle.

When people say vee-hickle, the accent is on the hickle.

oxfordcircus -- Its NOT "an historic." It should be "a" unless you're going to drop the "h." Says so right here in my AP style manual, so it has to be right. I always think someone is trying to be pretentious when they say "an historic."

Can you find something in that manual regarding the use of "myself". I can stand when I hear something like:

"Who went to the movies?"
"Bob, Jane and myself."

THAT MAKES ME CRAZY! I know it's wrong, but can't find the proper proof!

I can sympathize with those that don't pronoune their H's. I am from MA and some of us don't pronounce our r's. When i went to college I tried really hard to change the way I spoke.

Anyone else come from somewhere that they don't pronounce a letter?

I do prounounce my H's... but they come out as hew - hewge, hewman. No H on Herb's though, those are just plain erbs!

Now for R's..nope, they come out as "ah", I drive a cah, "I pahk my cah in Hahvahd yahd" I have a dollah, no quahtah's (as in .25cents). Everyone in my office makes fun of my accent. I'm the only Massachusetts native, everyone else is from PA, NY, NH, & Canada!!
