Words suddenly being pronounced subtly differently?
Anyone notice this? Lately I am keenly aware that words are emphasized differently than normal. Like here’s an example normally someone would say I am watching tv but now it sounds like they are saying tee ve. Like the first parts are getting dragged out longer. I never noticed anything like this ever before. But now I’m seeing it everywhere and it kind of bugs me. Also paper towels.. it now sounds like pay-per towels.. what is going on with me?

I don't know much, but I do know that the sneaky black ninja jesus squirrel went and changed a magic tattoo, and that bastard just banged every mom on the planet.

Maybe then you will all be smarter tomorrow, he banged them into a Xanax prescription bottle just to make sure.

Magnetic resonance globally is vibrating more violently. What your witnessing is not words being pronounced differently, rather, they are simply travelling to you in a more distorted state given the errant vibratory field across which they must traverse.

Gonna get real wierd in another 6 months. Some people will be saying for example "cheeeekn" (for chicken), and others will be saying "ch-kaiiirrrnnn" depending at which split second they utter the word.

People stopped saying "Our", which rhymes with sour and tower and Power and now they say "Are" instead. It's rare to hear someone say it correctly. It's Not just in the hick south, but nation wide.
I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you.

Re: Words suddenly being pronounced subtly differently?
I'm noticing.

1) Question
2) Measure

All my life, in 2 English speaking countries. Question was (kwest ion) with this I barely there in the pronunciation.
Now, I'm hearing all over the place
K-eustion..it's difficult to do the phonetics since (to me) it's rather strange. But it sounds nothing like in this Cambridge dictionary pronounciation
[link to dictionary.cambridge.org (secure)]

Also, and even more so.
- measure
I've always heard it me(h)zhure. A very soft, almost silent h in the 1st syllable.
NOW... I'm hearing mAY-zhure.

Is this just a new thing???

5 star "The baby, the stupid, on purpose..." Horror movie thread.

You are right on it.
Its bay-bee talk so everybody knows we are good widdle kids who beweeve what the tee-vee authority figure is telling us and how we feel.
Its just that simple.
Infantilization of the stupid was always a wrangling tactic. Now, its the effort to infantalize midwits who are standing there with brains enough to think "why is everything always like little dam kids, babies or fake women that suck like joy behar?".....but they don't light up that extra filiment or lightbulb that says "Because they are insultingly false and herding people so stupid they deserve it right off the cliff"
If they would arrive at this and have a nose at that baby talk shi* for the insult it is, they would be people. But because they draw near like barney and say "because its vewy important"....they are canned spam. Clams offering the half shell.
Good babies are really bad people and just as often these days, bad kids are people who didn't crush down to dumb herd mush so well.

Words that I find are pronounced differently than I originally thought:

Carnegie.
Macintosh apple (pronounced Mcintosh).
Haas avocados (pronounced hass, rhymes with glass).

I’ve actually experienced the whole words flopping pronunciation thing on mushrooms.. it is really similar to that... but the only difference is this is not fun at all.. instead it makes me really irritated like the person speaking is an uneducated hick or something.. but that’s the thing the person isn’t... and my emotions behind it seem illogical and somewhat unjustifiable for how much it irritates me.

I have noticed that 'thank you' has morphed into 'think you' over the past few years.
I did it. I did it on purpose. And I'll do it again.
