And what a beautiful tree!
Ken says "sammich" too but we just like to change the pronunciation of words and make up new words really. Or put a new definition in. Like "perch", depending on how and when you say it, now means either you need to sit/lay down and properly digest your food; you are really full after eating; or if your stomach is giving you trouble and you feel sick
Now I have a weird situation with pronunciations and accents. I have always had a Hispanic "rolling R" but that was it. About 4 years ago I really got into my Irish side. Irish music, cultural study, etc; so I have a slight Irish personality coming through. The about 3 years ago I went Western European! I think British. I was really into Jane Austen and had finally seen the newer 'Pride and Prejudice' movie. So I have a soft O and a few other changes that are coming in naturally. I don't even think about it anymore. I have also suddenly changed my spelling, adding 'u' (colour) and 'e' (programme) or switching 'r' and 'e' (theatre). I get highly influenced by movies and some of the pronunciations come from that. Most go away but the Olde English and British have stuck as well as Southern Cajun (thanks to Ray the Firefly from The Princess and the Frog. I say 'tion' like "Shawn"). Most recently I am starting to think/say 'me' instead of 'my' so my Irish is starting to come out.
I get nauseous so easily. I can stand in the edge of the ocean and as the waves hit my ankles I'll be sick. I went on a glass-bottom boat ride once in Silver Springs, Florida and will not do that again. Urp. Ginger root helps, but when I take Dramamine I get tired or actually fall asleep!
In school I learned Spanish from a Cuban teacher and she taught us to use the rolling rrrrs. It is harder to do than it seems!
I love Irish music! I have decedents from Ireland, Scotland and Germany that I know of. Otherwise the old family married with Native Americans on both sides of Steve and I's families, so both families have been around the US for a very long time. I switch the r in theatre, too, as it just seems the more correct way to spell it but don't use the extra letters in program or color. I love "Pride and Prejudice" but do like the British mini-series better than the movie.
I've noticed how people will move to another area and eventually adjust to the accent there. My sister-in-law still has a slight Boston accent but mostly she just sounds like she is from the mid-west. Accents are funny things!
That I know of I have Irish, Native Dominican, and Spanish, but I also think Scottish. My dad's family is in New York and my mom came to the US in the 1970s. I can't tell but Ken says my mom has an accent so I guess she never lost her's. I knew someone who moved to England and when they came for a visit they had the accent. I would at least like to visit the places I seem to be attracting accents from!
