    Yes, please do. My name is "Harris" but I've never been called that in France

They move the final D of a syllable to the start of the next. Examples Student should be pronounced STUDE-nt and garden should be said as GARD-n. We have TV ads for Olive Garden restaurants and the announcer every time says, "GAR-DEN.' And in other cases student becomes STEW-DENT. This grates on me.

      I think the Olive Garden would love to hear from you about this. I would call them.
      If I have a 50% chance of guessing the right answer, I guess wrong 80% of the time.

        My wife is always getting on to me for saying nakin instead of napkin. It's the way I learned it and can't seem to change it.

          Hey, I learned to say Hertz instead of cycles...
          Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.

            Do you know who Nardwuar is? He's not 'Nardwuar the napkin' and there's a reason for that. Up here we try to keep that word for ... other things.
            Serviette. Try it.
