Default Yo - say Florida

You guys pronounce the letter I in Florida?

Florda? Floorda? Floorduh? Flooriduh?

Up in Cleveland when I was there it was Flarda.

I've been inspired to move it to Chit Crap to see how more people around the country pronounce it.

Flarda!

All are right, the pronunciation is based on how deep you are in the woods here or if your an implant/tourist.

My Hebrew friends say it like 'flour-dah' with an emphasis on the 'dah' part. Other mary-landers say it like- 'let's goe to floor-duh, hon!'

Lived in the Panhandle for quite a while.... It was pronounced....
*chamber*.... *click-click*.... "what did you ask me Yankee?"


Definitions:

Yankee.... A Northerner that visits the South

Damn Yankee.... A Northerner who has moved to the South and won't leave.


Yet I now live in Massachusetts and the New England accents here are sometimes harder to understand then anywhere

it depends on how fast i'm talking. most of the time i prounounce it phoenetically, which i presume to be the correct pronunciation. when i'm talking fast the 'i' gets dropped haha

My mom is from Plymouth. I always hated them poking fun at my accent when we visited. They didn't use half the letters in a word but my southern drawl was apparently hilarious.
