You can go to the dictionary, online or offline, and check the pronunciations and voila.<br /><br />Even easier, go to the people who are trained to speak properly. The best example would be national new anchors. They get flamed for saying things improperly. If you sound like a southern hick, they do not let you anchor the ten o'clock nation news. So, following that logic that the news people are trained to speak properly, they all sounds liek they are from...<br /><br />THE MIDWEST!!! Yeah, you know it, the midwest is the best and we speak properly, the rest of you have a regional accent if you say it differently! ;)Aaron Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356942729722642571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-17011157310570293852009-06-02T15:33:37.052-07:002009-06-02T15:33:37.052-07:00I say wash but cringe when I hear "warsh".
