MaximusMeridius Intervention Needed

He said "Cali" in his testimony so many times his first week and I winced in sympathy for him. I tried to help him and I was genuinely nice about it. I also never made fun of him, I just gave him a heads up

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.

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

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

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

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

Abe Froman

And you took that literally??

You sound like such a nice person

(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

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

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

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

Looks like they finally fixed it.
