• Banking at Tops, but making a point of driving another 5 min to spend money at #wegmans where they have real live cashiers.
  
• Shit just got real: I am on roller skates at work. Pics to follow.
  
• Today's lesson: you can't plow-stop on carpet. But you can turn-around stop! :)
  
• @zobar2 I got pics but no vids. You need to buy me a D300S if you want vids. There's nothing to explain, roller skates are cool.
  
• @zobar2 You KNOW it is baby!!! :D

wAsh

Apparently when I say the word "wash", which should, in my local dialect, be pronounced "wosh", rhyming with "josh" or "posh", I frequently inadvertently mispronounce it as "wash", rhymes with "ash".
I am never aware of doing this.
Z notices every time.
He just asked me where something was and I said, guessing, "the dishwasher?"
So now he's mocking me out because I apparently said the dishw-aaa-sher. :/

I don't know why I would pronounce it like that. Everyone in every place I've ever lived has pronounced it "wosh". My mother says "wosh". My father says "wosh". My Canadian coach whose speech mannerisms I seem to absorb enough that total strangers out of context ask where in Ontario I'm from says "wosh". There is no dialect I'm aware of that would plausibly say "wAsh." But since I'm never aware of saying it, I never realize I've done it. And I get made fun of for it A LOT.

The other word I can't apparently handle is "milk", which has an I in it. I pronounce it, uncontrollably, "melk". THAT one, at least, I can trace to my childhood; we always said it that way.

I really do get asked a lot if I'm Canadian. No, I have to answer, I'm just a spazz.
