There's this guy in the office who's got more time with the company than I do, and has a more senior position than mine. A guy that's put in the time, and done well by it. Good for him, but he uptalks constantly.

It makes him sound like such a boob? Everything he says sounds like a question? From a 5 year old?

Hard not to fixate on it while speaking with him? 'Cause, you know? It's really annoying?

I think you're mistaking "uptalking" for a canadian acent.

I met a girl this weekend that seemed a bit "downey" but it turned out she was just from Canada.

 

[IH8Rice]

i know someone who uptalks on every sentence...very very very annoying

 

[ultraNoob]

Oh, you mean an upwards inflection at the end of his sentence instead of a downward inflection. I get it now.

I'm from Canada, but people think I'm slow, eh?

vietnamese?

I know this lady who is american but grew up w/ her vietnamese grandmother and parents speaking their language.

EVERY sentence this lady speaks has an inflection like that. yes, she sounds really dumb. she's not though...

 

[TheTruth]

I know a guy who uptalks at the end of every sentence, it sounds so out of place. That being said he also pronounces porsche "por-scha!" and jaguar "Jag-u-arrrgh."

 

[Da Peach]

vietnamese?

Nope. Just small town Canada.

There was one guy that came into the bike shop who pronounced DuraAce "Dur-Ach-ay".

Please tell me you didn't say anything.

 

[chuffer]

There was one guy that came into the bike shop who pronounced DuraAce "Dur-Ach-ay".

Actually, that is the preferred pronunciation for DuraAce amongst the people I know. Kinda poking fun at the price of DA. Gucci, Ferrari, Durace.

 

[IH8Rice]

That being said he also pronounces porsche "por-scha!"

so he pronounced it right?

im thinking he was joking around...just like customers ask for GeeAunt...or go to Tarjay.

I am saying that in america, it sounds stupid.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

at first I thought this was going to be about people using smart sounding words in conversations when they have absolutely no idea what they mean...

porsha is how the name is pronounced. porsh, isnt

He does that too. And he says: "Supposably".

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

You know what would help, if you punched Mmike in the face.

I think I might make a poll, the winner shall prevail.

No way did I say anything, and no way was he joking. Immediately following that you would hear a collective sigh/groan from other people in the shop.

 

[Icantdrive65]

IH8Rice is right. Does anybody here drive a chev-roll-lett?

And I can't stand the imaginary second "r" in Orange Sherbe(r)t

 

[Da Peach]

Is it SRAM? Or SHRAM? I hear both a lot.

I'll go with SRAM.

 

[TheTruth]

And I can't stand the imaginary second "r" in Orange Sherbe(r)t

I want a pronunciation in full 1080p by tonight or your opinion will not be considered.

 

[DirtyMike]

 

[Icantdrive65]

Thanks to the dumbing down of the English language, an alternate pronunciation has been added. Nevertheless, the first and accurate pronunciation just happens to match the spelling. Although, if you live in Warshington the order may switch.

How do you feel about Gelato ?

That silent G is soooo disturbing, please, delete this post, I might be sick.

 

[Icantdrive65]

You mean Hell-ot-oh?

 

[jimmydean]

Last time I called AT&T the gal talked like that. Oh man, I wanted to choke her out!

 

[BikeMike]

You mean Hell-ot-oh?

What, is this a Spanish pronunciation of the word?

As kidwoo would say: That makes me get all stabby.

Irregardless...supposably....ugh...barf.

 

[AlmostHeaven]

I have a rare bone disease which prevents me from correctly pronouncing plane'arium.
