LSUcougar92 Intervention Needed

The consensus was anyone who pronounces the letter T in mountain is a psychopath. That’s a direct quote. Not one Mormon or Utah was in the group. Sorry to disappoint you MaximusMeridius

Is this just a Utah thing to not know the difference between the verb "dominate"

I am from Utah originally and saw the "mistake" immediately.

I see it all the time on this board, more than anywhere else.

Corn Pop

I do, too, but I have seen it other places as well. Exclusively sports blogs?

In the Utah accent glottal stop, both of these words are pronounced the same. So

This explanation is so wrong. The first thing I learned in linguistics is that

Lol they're just trying to make you feel better

MaximusMeridius

You think people in Louisiana, Texas, & Cali pronounce mountain wrong to make

LSUcougar92

10:45am

Nobody calls it "Cali" and I'm from California...we don't pronounce it like that

That's where you're getting your info from??? 😂😂

MaximusMeridius

11:55am

Your claim was "Nobody calls it "Cali"".

Abe Froman

12:04pm

And you took that literally??

MaximusMeridius

12:32pm

You sound like such a nice person

LSUcougar92

Actually yeah. I was legitimately helping the guy out

MaximusMeridius

(1) I was short-handing California to fit 80 characters, not saying that is what

You're wrong. Maxipants is always correct. You're just overly sensitive.

I see it used incorrectly here on CB from time to time.

No, it is not limited to Utah. Now axe us another question.

This one might be the worst pronunciation-wise, usually less often in writing.

moutn vs mountain, axe vs ask, nuculear vs nuclear, simular vs similar. All funny differences

BYU Grounds

It's like next week BYU will verse Utah at 8:15pm. Verse is now the verb form of versus (vs.). Bugs me when my 5th

Things I see on Cougarboard at a rate of at least 10x the societal norm:

cosmette

9:27am

All true. CB also loves to use "jive" instead of "jibe." Jive is what the guys

AZ Coug

9:34am

Is "jibe" even a word?

lightmann

10:15am

Rarely on CB, but in the dictionary, yes

AZ Coug

10:24am

Born in DC, High School in Sacramento? Maybe it's a BYU education thing?

Are you talking about Jason? He said dominant. There was no "eight" sound at all

MaximusMeridius

9:41am

Talking about the written title of the video.

Corn Pop

9:46am

Ahhh the title was cut off after "dom". Lol that's embarrassing!

MaximusMeridius

9:49am

Looks like they finally fixed it.
