Can You Pronounce 'Speech Impediment' ??

This evening, while I was minding my own business and watching TV, a curious bystander- for privacy reasons we will call her "Emma"- was talking to me about my new blog and its success thus far (which is great by the way guys, 100 views a day and climbing, keep it up!) and she proceeded to asking me something that caused a huge ruccus in the Bain household...

"Are you going to have another rant?", she asked.

The question wasnt the funny part that got me worked up. It was how she pronounced 'rant' like "rahhnt".

Now dont get me wrong, she is a top class lass,  but I have known of Sea Manatees that could pronounce the certain particulars of the English language with better prowess than the display I had just seen.

I was lost for words.

Gavin- for once off the bottle for one night of the week- was in hysterics.

Charlotte was even more so shocked that she decided to get on the internet and have a search as to how the proper pronunciation should be.

Duhhhhh....

Indeed, "Emma" was wrong. I decided to play the sound 20 times over just to piss her off even more so.

So the next time you say something that you have no idea how to pronounce, dont be a twit. Just think for a second and say something else that would relate to the word in question.

For the record: Sea Manatee's are lovely, harmless creatures. People that say words incorrectly should not be trusted, and culled right away in genocidal fashion.
