"Grocery" pronunciation poll

I never knew "grosch" pronunciations were regional.

as far as i can tell, it isn't regional

I feel like I'm putting on fancy airs if I pronounce the double ts in the middle of words. I think I do that t-dropping think at the ends of sentences that harbl describes, too.

I was hanging out with my cousin and a friend of his last week and they both have awesome mid-Atlantic accents and the friend would finish sentences with the USA mid-Atlantic regional equivalent of "innit," which is more like "idnit?" (or "dudnit?" or "wudnit?" for "doesn't it?" and "wasn't it?" respectively) and it made me nostalgic and a little sad because I used to say that all the time until people from NJ, a state with plenty of linguistic quirks of its own, that I met in college mocked it right out of my speech.

Had a friend in college who did this, overenunciating the "t" in words where most Americans would either drop it or turn it into a "d." Turns out her dad was English and she had lived there until she was 9, but her accent wasn't strong enough for that to be obvious, so a lot of people just thought she was pretentious.

people who voted for anything other than gross-ree are disgusting savages imo
