Not to criticize anybody’s accent (I never have, and never will), but it’s quite clear to me that many Americans are so averse to tea that they’ll even exclude it from their spoken words. You hear them talk about the ‘innernet’ and the ‘anni-Christ’. Or, a word like ‘better’ or ‘Peter’ becomes ‘bedder’ and ‘Peder’. What’s up with that? Guys and dolls, I have the perfect antidote for that. Brew yourself a nice pot of tea, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy! Do it more often and you’ll find your elocution will effortlessly improve in leaps and bounds. You’ll soon be able to flawlessly articulate the following: Betty Botter bought some bitter butter. But the bitter butter made her batter bitter. So Betty Botter bought better butter, making her bitter batter better. Brought to you with love from the Tea Party Committee. :mdrmdr: I believe the fault lies within the Deep South that often changes the words and will only drink cold ice tea or lemonade but will switch out their hot drinks for the cough-fee :calvin So … is Betty Botter her alias name for Betty Crocker or Betty Cracker? But I must admit sometimes people from the Philadelphia region can say some very old words. One time my boss announced … don’t forget tomorrow you can wear your dungarees! And we were like, huh, :scratch: whaaaat are you talking about? I thought I had to go to the local mall and buy something new. Boy did he embarrass himself and showed his age when he explained what they were. 😆 So is this the Cup of Joes or the Tea Party asking this serious Betty Crocker baking question? :scratch: :unsure: - Fair Use -
