R-Uh Is NOT A Letter

The National Association of Elementary School Teachers issued a plea to parents of African-American pupils that they teach their children that the letter ‘R’ has only one syllable.

“For years we’ve been faced with a smattering of African-American children who pronounce ‘R’ like ‘are-uh,’” Connie Brown, NAEST president told The Peoples News. “This has got to stop.”

Almost every black person can remember a classmate who, when reciting the alphabet, would stumble over ‘R,’ as in “…ell, em, en, oh, pee, cue, are-uh, ess, tee…” but carry on as if nothing was amiss.

The NAEST also reiterated for the 17th straight year that ‘ask’ is not pronounced ‘ax’ and that while it reluctantly accepts ‘fixin’ to’ as an alternate for ‘going to,’ the non-word ‘fintin’ is not.

You can also add libary=library, ambalamps=ambulance, pitcher=picture and peyasul=pencil

Something tells me this is a bull$*@% thread to stir the pot! I could be wrong, but I doubt it. :smack:

Gov. Palin boasts that she comes from a family of teachers. It would be nice if one of those teachers had taught her that Iraq is not pronounced. "Eye Rack". :lmao:

You're not an eyetalian are you? :killingme

I'm trying to work with you here. I'd love to tell you that I am laughing at your last comment but I can't. Instead my eyes rolled. Hey, at least you got a reaction.

And, by the way, I am Eyerish.

Iraq or Irak (both: ēräk', irăk')

I guess it is all about preference. Since you don't prefer the candidate, you will try to make fun of her, but really, you are the one who looks like an idiot because it can be pronounced either way!
