The brainwashing wore off in eight grade and I'm glad to say I've fully recovered. TO be honest, since I work in I.T. - I've heard it both ways over the past 9 years, so I've gotten used to it.Fetcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072315171849743985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-89828583622463016952008-07-02T00:58:00.000-04:002008-07-02T00:58:00.000-04:00Hmm...I read your post and was saying datta in my ...Hmm...I read your post and was saying datta in my mind so I guess that must be what I normally say. I'm also a SAHM so this definitely isnt a word I use often. <BR/><BR/>I'm with April, though. As someone who grew up in Nevada...it is EXTREMELY annoying to me when I hear people say Ne-vaw-duh instead of Ne-va-duh. You can say you are pronouncing it the spanish way all you want...but ne-vaw-duh still wouldn't be correct. What really gets me is when a story is based there and they still say it wrong. The correct pronunciation of a state is the way the people who live their pronounce it. <BR/><BR/>LOL. Obviously, I feel strongly about that. I only say something if someone does it over and over and over again. Otherwise, I really find it weird for someone to correct your pronunciation. I guess it depends on if they are a good friend who wouldnt make you feel embarrassed. :)jaacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076580766458927142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-42650959654968353102008-07-01T19:19:00.000-04:002008-07-01T19:19:00.000-04:00Day-ta.
