My husband found out a few years back that there is actually a town named Marlboro in Mass. yep he swears he will move us there one day so I won't be able to say where I live! - oh and "hi" I found your blog hopping around and I enjoyed the read!Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08455764039212519400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-35714782313944767922008-02-16T23:32:00.000-07:002008-02-16T23:32:00.000-07:002008-02-16T23:32:00.000-07:00As a deaf person, I remember going to a speech therapy during my high school years.<BR/><BR/>I recalled the speech therapist and I had a bickering fight over the way we pronounce the words. I was trying tell her that I hate "coffee." She corrected me that it sounded like "corrfeee." (with R.) Again, I was criticized I pronounced the word wrong for "dog." She instead said "dorg" (with R)<BR/><BR/>At the end of a small fight, I finally questioned her, " where did you come from?" She replied "New Jersey." I was not very nice when I told her, "Well, if you are teaching in California, you d better learn to pronounce in California's way." Wasn't I mean?<BR/><BR/>Even today, I do speak well, but my older son, who is 7, sometimes gives me a correcting way of saying a certain word, like "Mango." This time, I just smiled and think of him being a possible a speech therapist in his future's career.Laura and the familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00413189516451734620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-36562314989517617232008-02-15T15:18:00.000-07:002008-02-15T15:18:00.000-07:002008-02-15T15:18:00.000-07:00Massachusetts.

She even said it again today, but I have yet to correct her. <BR/><BR/>My 16 year old son, after many years of telling him the correct word along with it's spelling, STILL says "pellow" for pillow and "in-head" of for "ahead of". What to do, what to do? <BR/><BR/>As for me, I've been working on saying explitive rather than explicitive... not that I need to use that word much.Karenkoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07458924226091801430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-87001592628712951982008-02-12T12:15:00.000-07:002008-02-12T12:15:00.000-07:002008-02-12T12:15:00.000-07:00Massachusetts. <BR/><BR/>And my fingerst always type "students" as studnets.
