Pickles by Brian Crane for December 02, 2011

And then the arguments began.

now THERE’S a word i use evryday, don’t YOU Earl?

Wat woodjue say ifee always spoke kerectlee?

That must be the nitpicking couch. Wonder how they’d do at Scrabble?

I doubt that Earl even knows what it means.

Always a good way to improve a relationship, pre-pick on things that you think someone would do wrong, IF they ever did them.

I’m surprised Opal didn’t say " What ever "

And then there are the people who say, “prolly.” Ugh.

@orinocoOh well, at least I pronounce “autochthonous” correctly.

And I may just be the only one who says “hqiz” the way it otter be said.

Now that’s funny right thar.

I’m just as bad with my words…

LOL xxx

There is trouble even if pronounced correctly: process (ah vs. oh), about (US, Canada, and Scotland are all different); and that doesn’t even get into orthography (-or vs. —our). Divided by a common language.

I have a friend from New Orleans that say’s

‘chimbly’ in place of chimney,and ‘ascared’ instead

of scared. I asked him about it one time he just

said "ahso’…I didn’t appreciate that considering that

he wasn’t Japanese.

At least they’re chatting with each other!

I like my life and my language simple!

Not that I’m simple…….probably because I’m complicated. :)

I don’t want to think about that where Earl & Opal are concerned.

When someone wants to axe me sumtin, I just want to axe them – over and over. They also have sludge hammers, there also seems to be a lot of sludge left over, though.

I first encountered “archipelago” at a too young age (reading “Swallows and Amazons.”) My version was Archy-pie-LAGO!

She never heard the shot…BANG!

Oh for god’s sake, how did these 2 ever stay together so long bickering about such nonsense
