SwampD Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I had no idea what you're talking about until my ex moved to Rochester with me, obviously prior to being my ex. I guess my pronunciation isn't too bad as my parents weren't from here but the whole mashing of the middle syllable is bizarre. No syllable has the accent. Definitely weird.

FogBat Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Pronouncing sneakers "tennis shoes". Obviously, sneakers is easier to say. Two syllables as opposed to three. Plus, the word shoes tends to be drawn out when we say that word. Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarasotaSabre Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 "supposebly" is an asinine mispronunciation of "supposedly" - and is all too frequent "philadolphia" = Kevin Sylvester's personal malaprop .......:(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarasotaSabre Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Pronouncing sneakers "tennis shoes". that is not a mispronunciation; it is a bad, distinctively Southern term for any type of athletic shoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnychemo Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 When I go to Buffalo, I've noticed people pronouncing "soda" as "pop". Funny, I've noticed when I go to Syracuse they pronounce "pop" as "soda." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Did I miss the memo that says Neanderthal is now pronounced Ne-an-der-tal? Well, the full name is ###### neanderthalensis, and Latin doesn't have the th digraph we have in English, so...it's always been pronounced that way?

That is funny that you can't use the scientific word "h-o-m-o". The joys of filters. One day when computers have gotten to the terminator level of intelligence (before they decide to kill us all) we will be able to have systems that know the difference between science and slur.

Richmond_Bills Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm from Rochester and now live in VA (have lived in VA longer than I did in Roch for the record) Rochster-isms that don't translate down south (notice I left out the middle "e" in Rochester) :nana: : Carmel = CarAmel Lilac (Lilock) = Lilack Ambulance (ambulence) = AmbulAnce "All's I know" - didn't translate at all and I was made fun of profusely when I moved down here. Richmond-isms that don't translate up north (besides the above): "It won't my turn to do the dishes" - really, won't????? Y'all (enough said, but I now say it too) Coke = soda/pop - when I first moved here it was worse than it is now. If you went to a store you had to ask where the "coke" was. I acutally went out with a girl that ordered an "orange coke" at a restaurant.... :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 How 'bout the PRESIDENTS TROPHY banner hanging in the arena? Perhaps someone could bring a paintball gun to the arena and fire the apostrophe up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 How 'bout the PRESIDENTS TROPHY banner hanging in the arena? Perhaps someone could bring a paintball gun to the arena and fire the apostrophe up there. A quick google search brings it up as the "Presidents' Trophy". I'm guessing that wasn't what you were expecting, but the trophy apparently honors multiple presidents. So there's no apostrophe on the banner at all?

I'm guessing that wasn't what you were expecting, but the trophy apparently honors multiple presidents. So there's no apostrophe on the banner at all? That makes the shot soooo much easier. Landing a paintball between the T and S would have been pretty challenging from distance but if all you gotta do is put it somewhere to the right of the S... cake. problem solved. kudos to PA for the paintball idea... thinking outside the box, i like it! next?

That Aud Smell Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 just put a piece of duct tape at an angle between the T and S.. problem solved. not as fun as duct tape or a paint ball, but the chicago cubs actually arranged for the sculptor to engrave an apostrophe into the statue that is installed outside wrigley. here he is touching up the apostrophe. i love his take that his omission of the apostrophe was "over-hyped." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4_8QsVujYg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be. (Pardon me while I debate this with the various voices in my head.) OK, maybe it could go either way, but the formal name of the trophy is Presidents' Trophy, per the NHL. It's more a trophy that belongs to the presidents of the NHL (Presidents' Trophy) than a kind of trophy (Presidents Trophy). Aud, help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korab rules Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Haha, I actually noticed that right after I posted and debated going to back to fix it but figured nobody would notice... then i proceeded to edit the thread numerous times with the Kaleta information and still didn't change it. :doh: As long as we are all being pricks, "intact" is one word. I saw it written as "in tact" in two separate posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
