Since we're being trivial... why can't Hillary pronounce the word "a"?

[Larry in KC]

My theory is that it's some attempt to sound precisely correct.

The word is normally pronounced far closer to "uh" than to the "aaii" she makes out of it. It makes her sound artificial and forced.

I'm just sayin'.

1. Delete. Never mind you meant the word "A" nt

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. Excuse me but are you particularly bored today or something? nt

[Larry in KC]

4. It's the word "a," not her pronunciation of the letter in other words

[Sarah Ibarruri]

24. Yeah but uh.... maybe there's something really interesting on TV right now you could watch? lol

I think you're just bored. :)

[polichick]

3. Is it her Midwestern accent??

[hiaasenrocks]

There's that, and the influence on her accent from her years in ARK and

her NY accent and her southern accent when she's speaking in the South.

[Larry in KC]

7. I honestly don't think so.

I'm from the midwest. No one I know pronounces it like that, except some children who overpronounce when reading aloud.

5. Why Waste People's Time Here? You Really Think We Need A Stupid Thread Like This?

How bout giving the SLIGHTEST bit of respect to the community you are part of by opting out of posting total bullshit threads like this. We have enough junk already. Next time use your head before clogging up GDP with this stupid shit.

[Larry in KC]

9. Next time, just overlook the thread. And relax.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. Next Time, How Bout You Don't Post It. How Bout Next Time You Post Something With A Modicum Of

intellect.

[Larry in KC]

14. Wow. Are you all right?

[hiaasenrocks]

19. You Should Capitalize All Words In Subject Lines.

:sarcasm:

[hiaasenrocks]

10. You just kicked the bullshit thread.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

12. The Thread Was Already On Top. The Kick Didn't Do Shit Genius.

[hiaasenrocks]

15. Keep kicking it. LOL.

I always get a good chuckle out of people who take the time to post about how much they hate the thread they're participating in, and then they stick around to see who responds to their response, and post again how much they hate the thread they're participating in.

:rofl:

[Larry in KC]

20. YOU I like, even if you did call the thread bullshit.

[hiaasenrocks]

22. I was using his term.

[Larry in KC]

23. Thanks, now I like you even more.

A sense of humor is an asset, even in serious times, don't you think?

[hiaasenrocks]

26. Absolutely, it is.

I'm not having a great day, but I'm trying to laugh and keep things in perspective. It sounds like the other guy is very angry about something, and it probably has nothing to do with your thread.

(And I'm sure I'll be attacked shortly.)

[Larry in KC]

27. Maybe you won't be. You may have psyched him out

with your second response. He's either biting his tongue (figuratively), or has gone to rant elsewhere.

Sorry about your day.

[baldguy]

6. Iat's they-et Shia-kagow ayekcent.

[Botany]

16. Much worse out in Schaa am berg .... oh gawd.

[Botany]

8. It is nothing it is a Regional Dialect .... she has a flat A

Much more noticeable if she is tired or exacted when speaking.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

11. Oferchrisake!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Examples?

[calico1]

18. Well, obviously this disqualifies her from

being able to run for President, or from being a good one.

:sarcasm:

[Larry in KC]

28. Not to worry. The current occupant has set the bar incredibly low.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. My beef: Poor grammar - She said "between Obama and I."

[hiaasenrocks]

25. I've noticed that. In her defense, she usually catches it and corrects it.

In fact, during one of the debates (I think it was the one at the Kodak Theater) she even made a little self-deprecating joke about how she gets it wrong. So she recognizes it. As a writer, I'm always trying to improve my grammar and I'm sometimes overly critical of other people's grammar, but people make mistakes. I'm sure I've probably made on in this response. :)
