I say cache=cash, carbine=carbean, creek=creek, acorn= A-corn.

What about a nice carbonated drink, such as Coke or Pepsi?

I say coke for any drink like that, I grew up in southern Kansas and we all said that. Do you prefer Pop? How about Soda? That sounds gay to me, but I guess it's where you grow up.

I feel the need to point out that all forms of pronunciation all equally valid. There is no right or wrong way to speak a language. The various regional accents and peculiarities should be seen as a richness, not as mistakes or errors. The form of speech used by a Los Angeles rapper is no more incorrect than that of an Oxford professor.

Having said that, I do feel your pain. The oddities of American pronunciation are indeed perplexing at times. Nevertheless, I think they are rather interesting and should be valued, not scorned.

Close, but no cigar.

I must confess that most of the time I haven't the foggiest idea of what black people are talking about when they are speaking in ebonics. Still, I think that variety in language is always a good thing.

Quoted:
And don't get me started on affect vs. effect or site, sight and cite! On the flip side of the coin, apostrophes, other than contractions just kill me!

That's why I never Grammar Nazi(can Grammar Nazi be used as a verb?).

But let me tell you what gets ME is when people get high-and-mighty about affect v. effect, thinking that they're the better educated and correct a situation which was correct from the beginning.

That is to say, effect is ALSO a verb, but its use is restricted to certain situations ("to effect change"), but many people learn a rule ("effect is a noun") and run with it.

I had an English major read my senior thesis once and she thought I used 'effect' wrongly! I've lost faith in "English" and Journalism majors since then.

The one I see abused is the " Beck and Call " thing, rather than the correct--- "beckon call". What the hell is a beck anyway? Everyone knows what it means to beckon someone to come.

I've got bad news for you:

Main Entry: 3beck
Function: noun
1 chiefly Scottish : BOW, CURTSY
2 a : a beckoning gesture b : SUMMONS, BIDDING
- at one's beck and call : ready to obey one's command immediately

www.takeourword.com/TOW186/page4.html
www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/more.html

So, it's actually YOU that is making the error.

Admittedly I've never seen anybody write "beckon call," so I don't know how common this is.

MrPSmith you are correct, I knew this, but see so many who misuse those words.

Similar to "Beckon call" I love "French benefits" and "For all intensive purposes".

Loose is a verb, as in "the belt is loose." "Lose" is something that you do, as in "you are going to lose your ass in that game."

"Something you do" is a verb. Your first example is an adjective. Loose can be an adjective "The belt is loose" or a verb "Cry 'Havoc' and loose the Dogs of War!".

"Lose" is always a verb, which is something you do, especially at grammar.

Yes, and "advice" is something you give or get. "Advise" is something you do. Loose is a ~~verb~~adjective, as in "the belt is loose." "Lose" ~~is something that you do~~a verb, as in "you are going to lose your ass in that game." "Too" means "in addition." "To" show action toward something. "Two" is more than one and less than three.

Touche' is pronounced like "too-shay." Cache is not.

Moot rhymes with boot and is pronounced accordingly. Moot is NEVER pronounced MUTE.

The patch of land between lanes of roadway is called a MEDIAN, not a MEDIUM. "Medium" designates a temperature of steak (140-150degrees), a psychic or paranormal interpreter, or the area between low and high. The terms are not interchangeable.

I could go on and on, but it's sometimes like casting pearls before swine...

This has become my favorite site because of the high level of intelligence and the camaradarie of the posters. It IS like a fishbowl, however, and you are being watched. Someone has been everywhere and done everything and will be quick to correct you, advise you, educate you, entertain you, kick your ass, and poke fun...the greatest and never a dull day...

Cache is a French word that the loose translation is "to hide" That is why it is used in phrases such as a cache of arms and cache memory. In English we pronounce it "cash" mainly do to its use in the computer industry. It is really no different then the different pronunciation for Paris when speaking French or English.

The real questions is how do you pronounce "Pecan"? Is it Pee-can, Pa-con, or Pe-can?

Women is the plural of woman, when someone writes women when they mean woman, it makes them look like a retard. Same thing for "convertion" if you convert something, then it ia a conversion.

Cincinnatus, I normally like you and your posts, but I really feel you're wrong here.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

And FYI everybody, there are lots of other "caches" besides what our soldiers and marines and sailors (I guess I can leave airmen out? ;-) ) go out and find. For example, processor cache.

eta: I've got nothing against airmen.
