I talk funny

Talk_prettyMy friend Mark (the Canadian, eh) once pointed out that I talk funny.  For example, if I wanted to get somewhere quickly I would say we need to "hurry".  You will have to imagine me saying "huh-ree".  Apparently the correct way to say this is "her-ree".  I mean come on, there’s clearly a U in there.  Since when did a U get pronounced like an E.  Please do not actually answer that question.

An old girlfriend once caught me mispronouncing Unanimous.  I thought it was "hyoo-nanimous".  She shared this with friends we were visiting in LA.  After we got back home, she sent them a thank-you card saying "It’s Hunanimous!  We had a great time."

How did this happen to me!?  I have no idea.  I called my brother Ben to see if I can blame it on my upbringing.  But he doesn’t have a problem at all.

My brain is weird.

    I can’t pronounce ornery. I’ve always said “on-ree” which isn’t even sort of right. But I don’t care. More power to you.
