It always bothered me that he mispronounced the word “February” as “Feb-u-ary”.
Probably because of where he was raised. Depending upon the part of the country you grew up in some drop the “r” from the word. It was laziness in speaking things the way one could pronounce things, and eventually became normal.
I remember watching my wife’s grand mother, and my wife’s brother get into a huge fight on how to properly pronounce Almonds. Her grandmother grew up in the Midwest and they drop the “l”, Scott (my wife’s brother) being much younger and had grown up in California where they grew almonds, grew up pronouncing it using the “l”.
Shirley (the grandmother) went to her grave not liking her grandson, because he had to do his best to humiliate her that day for the way she pronounced almond.
To this day I cannot understand how some people can get so irate over the way people from other parts of the country talk, due to their upbringing.
I lived all over the country in my 66 years, but grew up in the Midwest, and while I used to talk like they do in the movie, “Fargo”, I lost my accent. Today, one would be hard pressed to figure out where I was raised.
