Why do people say fivdy instead of fifty and sigzdy instead of sixty?
Im not saying those people are right, but your argument is silly.
why do people say Lam instead of lamb or wimen instead of women
This is an old favorite.
I halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plane lee marques four my revue
Miss steaks aye ken knot sea
Eye ran this poem threw it
Your sure reel glad two no
It’s vary polished in it’s weigh
My chequer tolled me sew
A chequer is a bless sing
It freeze yew lodes of thyme
It helps me awl stiles two reed
And aides mi when aye rime
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud
And wee mussed dew the best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud
And now bee cause my spelling
is checked with such grate flare
Their are know faults with in my cite
Of nun eye am a wear
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed to be a joule
The chequer poured o’er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule
That’s why aye brake in two averse
My righting wants too pleas
Sow now ewe sea wye aye dew prays
Such soft wear for pea seas
intervocalic voicing. its a dialectical difference. its an ok thing to do.
This poem has been posted on the CR many times, also a favorite!
fivdy
I’ve told my kids a kajillion times not to make up numbers.
The Wolf
I told then just as many times not to exaggerate.
The first person who didn’t pronounce the ‘l’ in ‘could’ was probably also wrong.
LAB- I totally agree with you. We really should not be pronouncing knight as nite, that is making up a new word. Rather we should say it more like the yiddish word knecht, since that would include all letters. Seriously though, it’s just an accent. Get used to it.
What about South Africans? Twinny, thiddy, fohdy, fefty, sixdy, sevenny, aiydy, naarnny…
Love it!
@Aaron Chaim – Shame, shame shame…. That’s naaaaahce!

There’s been a lot of stuff about accents on here recently. Maybe influenced by parshas noach…?
LOL, perhaps! 😀
Wihmen is the correct pronunciation of the plural of woman, spelled women.
