Just a very trivial observation...

Edited on Mon Aug-28-06 03:44 PM by jenmito

Has anyone else noticed that every single Repub. on tv pronounces the word "rather" the way one would pronounce "father"? Even BUSH does it, which seems SO out of place with the rest of his wannabe-cowboy pronunciation of other words. Very strange...

2. Wow-I'm glad someone else notices!...

She's right-it IS out of place. I just wonder if someone TOLD him to do that and if so, WHY! It's really creepy that they ALL do that-even the Repub. mouthpieces on tv!

4. Now, now, be tolerant...

...it's just his inner Barmy Fotheringay-Phillips coming out. That's pronounced "Fungy-Fips" to you non-U types.

helpfully,

7. So does everyone I know...

The Repubs. who DON'T say it like "blather" certainly SHOULD, since what they say IS blather.
