Not to be confused with the topic from a year and a half ago, about pronouncing leucophylla or gemmae or...., this is geared toward how we pronounce English words, based upon our respective accents.
I am having an online discussion on how to pronounce the name Analisa and I brought up that I come from both ends of the State of NY. If you are from NYC / LI, that 'A' sound will be one thing, but if you come from Rochester and west, it will be completey different.
So, how do you pronounce words like Colorado, Oregon, Florida, orange, coffee, milk, radiator, roof, process, and names like Kathy or Karen?
