ok, because, you know, i need to know all.

[ColleenSwerb]

But how does the i turn into a u for diguhscrap? That's like, mind boggling to me, LOL!

Totally not trying to be mean or anything (pregnancy hormones have me paranoid I'm a b*tch all the time, lol), I just truly don't understand that, lol.

Do you originate from the NY metro area? I live on Long Island and I agree about ahhh-sum. It's aw-sum.

And I say Di-gee

I guess the same way people say Missour-uh instead of misour-ee

I see how she gets it. When I say digital I say di-juh-tul. Maybe that's how she says it.

[ColleenSwerb]

Yea, I'm from the Hudson Valley ("upstate" to you, you live in the city right? LOL!). I grew up in the town where the giant outlet mall is (the woodbury commons).

[newfiemountiewife]

Di-gee-scrap

or more like di-juh-scrap when I'm saying it fast lol

[ColleenSwerb]

Hmmm....I guess that could be it Trish. I say di-gi-tal, so I guess that's why I don't get it, lol.

Missour-uh is totally the same thing, lol. And wrong.

[pewtertm]

Ok, after some research into my own speech LOL, digital is 'di-juh-tul', but digi is 'di-gee'. BUT I just realized if I am saying 'digiscrapping' I pronouncing it 'di-juh-scrapping'. LOL I look like an idiot because now I'm walking trying to listen to my own pronunciation.

[Leontine78]

I sometimes have difficulties pronouncing the English well......but for you....try di-gi-taal! The g is not a gee but a gggggééé...hahaha...

This is exactly how I say it haha!

[emmasmommy]

LMAO
well, i guess if i say digi i say 'di-gee,' but when i say digiscrap, i say 'diguhscrap.' i say a lot of things 'wrong' though, so this is not surprising to me.

and for the record, i do not say missouruh, or warsh, or any of those things....

[pewtertm]

LOL yes it is. So is Il-lin-oiz...and Ar-kan-sass...that just bugs me. I could detrail a train talking about things like that.

[ColleenSwerb]

I might have to de-friend anyone who says "warsh" LOLOL!!!

I mean, I can understand different accents pronounce things differently. I get that. But adding/subtracting letters to words, or changing the sound of a letter for no reason TOTALLY bug me, lol.

[MommaTrish]

Don't get me started on people saying states wrong or I'll have to give you all a long lecture on how to properly say Tennessee and Mississippi. lol

[Stacey42]

I say dij-uh-tal scrapbooking but I also say di-gee scrap.

Actually it is more like did-gee scrapping & I have no idea where I get the extra d

[emmasmommy]

i think a lot of people say did-gee actually. most i've met IRL do anyway.

the only thing i know i say wrong is milk. i say melk...but i think that's just more of an illinois/chicago thing than a mispronunciation. i know it's milk, i just can't SAY milk. LOL

[cardinalskate]

LOL, me, too, Trish. I could go on and on about people pronouncing things wrong in my area. Most people on my side of the state (the east side-St. Louis area), say Missour-ee, while people on the west side of the state (Kansas City) say Missouruh. Ugh! Drives me crazy.

Around here, you're looked at weird if you DON'T say warsh. It makes me kinda shudder. My MIL is the worst...warsh, zink, Wal-Mark, orl (for oil)...I get looks all the time for actually have correct pronunciation.

And for the record, Laura, I could see how someone would say dig-uh-scrap. I guess

bwahaha! thanks kate!
and yes...this TOTALLY backfired on me. LOL

[pewtertm]

LOL my husband got chewed out a bit when driving through Arkansas City, KS...apparently they pronounce their town's name 'Ar-KANSAS' City, and he pronounced it 'ar-can-saw'. Apparently they were very defensive about their town name...kind of funny because I'd never even heard of it until he told me about the incident.

John eventually pulled me away from the guy and told me to get over it.

[mummytothree]

I say di-gee I don't think I even know how to pronounce di-guh!!

[emmasmommy]

LMAO thanks elizabeth
di-juh.
i was talking to k, and i think i say it like that because i say 'di-juh-tuhl' when i say digital.

[ColleenSwerb]

Just so you know, di-juh makes WAY more sense than di-guh. I was saying di-guh, like di-gun without the n. That was half of my confusion, lol.

[emmasmommy]

LOL ok...that was my bad. it's a soft g not a hard g

[mummytothree]

your welcome but now that I read the thread (I do that a lot...respond and THEN go back and read the whole thing ) I can see where someone would say di-guh....as in a shorter form of di-guh-tal!! If you look at it that way....di-guh would be more phonetically correct then di-gee

Okay, I can't even HEAR a difference in "ahh-sum" and "aw-sum". Oh, you're like swallowing the "aw", aren't you, yankee? LOL

No, seriously, is it just the southern pronunciation versus the northern one? Kinda like saying "SprIte" instead of "Spright"? Because I don't do that anymore. I say it the ri*eet way now. ; )

I had a friend that was from Des Peres, Missouri and when she said that it always cracked me up because it sounded like Dispair, Misery.

Yes that is upstate to me, lol. :-)

[Leila]

I say di-gee and di-ji-scrap (used a j just to emphasize that it's a soft g/j sound).

I think this is one of those Mary, marry, merry things. I hear and say all three of those words differently, but most people I know say them all the same way.
