Haha little do they know the only reason I pronounce caramel with two syllables is because I have slurred it into "care mull." I'm such a hick. I love it. What the hell is a cruller? I had an exboyfriend in the midwest that used to harass me all the time because I can't differenciate in my speech between Es and Is. As in.. ben bin and been are all the same word. As are ten and tin. And merry mary marry. Haha I have had so many fights about the correct pronunciation of those words.. It's sad haha. When I actually take the twenty minutes to attempt to say "ten" with an E it turns out "tan" :/

A crueller is a long stick o' glazed donut. It may be a New England thing.

Don't worry. I omit Rs from words which should have them (cah - car) and add them where they don't belong (soder - soda). I should make a phone post one of these days.

Oh man as long as you don't say "pop" for coke. That drives me absolutely insane.

I don't call it pop, but sometimes I do call it tonic. That's rare though... When I get really tired ^.^
