I've seen this before and still always get a little giggle when I hear the different pronunciation of schedule. Some pronounce it like shed jule and others pronounce it like sked jule. Oh well that's dialect for you!

Did anyone read that entire thing? I got half way through and decided who care how things a pronounced. the poem just bored me.
|
I thought it was delightful fun to read it. Thanks for posting. I love words and accents.
|
it was fun to read, but almost every English-speaking person will pronounce those words differently, depending on where they were born.

I read it all and found it interesting. I like word games. One thing that really bothers me is when news anchors (or likewise) pronounce the word "important" as "imported"; or "4-head" rather than "4-ed"; or, "in regards to" rather than "in regard to". Am I being too pickey? Now, don't send the Quilt Police to my house - LOL!

I loved it. Really made me think. I also looked up a few of the words in the dictionary as not only could I not pronounce them, I didn't even know what they meant. Gotta love the English language!
