by Anonymous 12 years ago

what accent is that?! not boston or new york or new jersey or southern or western or "normal" american or british or australian or irish or south african or canadian or new zelandish(idk if thats the correct term hahah)

Midwestern United States. There is no such thing as "normal" American. I f you listen closely, people in different parts of the same state pronounce vowels differently.

thats why i put normal in "" and i live in the midwest people say crayon

Exactly. I'd be willing to bet that you don't live in the same state and the same part of the state as I do.

i've lived in basically all parts of the country and i rarely hear cran but who cares if there is a part that does. If you say cran then "No Way" the post

I did. But it's very rude to say that there is only one way to pronounce a word when it is pronounced differently by people with different accents. That's like saying my accent is wrong.

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. I believe my accent is fine therefore, I NW this. If you told an English person that the way they pronounce words is wrong, don't you think they'd get a little miffed?

okay whats wrong with voting up my own comment?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I got the impression that it's generally thought to be tacky by people on this website. Which is why I've hidden all of my votes. hehheh

by Anonymous 12 years ago

are you ashamed of your votes? its not tacky every amirite you post is automatically voted up by you.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

No, no. Your posts are automatically voted up by yourself, but it's to hide what your vote was on other posts and comments. You can also technically vote your post down.

okay why are you trying to start an argument over this? really who cares

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I really wasn't. My original purpose was just to be a little bit contrary, but then you thought I was serious, so I got upset and decided to support my comment anyway. Then I tried humor, but I guess you did not recognize it as humor. And now I think that you're actually somewhat angry with me, because I disagreed and commented why I disagreed, while also exaggerating my disagreement to be contrary and amuse myself. I also think that you actually do care at least a little bit or else you wouldn't have replied to my original comment.

the point of saying i liked my own comment was to be contrary? and someones a bit sensitive. seeing as this is text you cant really tell when someones being serious so next time try funny humor i think that might work a little better. and im not angry im enjoying this debate and obviously i care thats why i posted this. and you care too thanks why you responded. whats wrong with caring?

Okay... I agree that I vehemently believe that I am right because it bothers her.

Honestly, this discussion went from the pronunciation of "crayon" to voting on your own comments. I say this insanity should just stop.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

well, crayon doesn't rhyme with maroon like the OP claimed. But I agree with the second half

Crown. Also lol at ^^^

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I mentally cringe when I hear 'cran', but 'crowns' makes me want to throw up. A crown and a crayon are two completely different things.

Award for most unecessary argument goes to ^^^.

Cran is so much easier to say.

I've never heard a person pronounce the "y" or the "o". I've only ever heard "cran".
