Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

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" :/
