|  The pronunciation of "program" Is it just me , or has anyone else noticed the variations of how people pronounce program ie progrym or progrum. The first time i noticed this was in a commercial for "rosetta stone" and the fat lady states that its a great progrym. Then at work, some fat supervisor of mine pronounces it Progrum, and its sooooo noticable when I just figured people would pronounce it "PRO-GRAM" It bothers the hell out of me and I want to know if anyone else notices this/does this/thinks it might be just fat people (no offense). |

   | Re: The pronunciation of "program" People come from all over the place, and not everyone talks the way they do in Florida. I wouldn't let it get to you. |

 | Re: The pronunciation of "program" Well, dialect is a funny thing. Here in Denmark we have something called "rigs dansk" and thats supposed to be the "proper way of speaking danish", but nobody does. Instead, in spite of what little country Denmark is, there's endless numbers of dialects. In fact, you don't have to travel far, to hear people speak a dialect you don't quite understand. |

| Re: The pronunciation of "program" weird, i never heard anyone pronounce it like that, tho some ppl pronounce it prog-ram as in "frog" and some pronounce it pro-gram emphasising the "row" |

| Re: The pronunciation of "program" soda? or pop? besides, you would think i would be used to all different dialects since i am in south florida and half the people here speak poor english and its a diverse region, but the word PRO-GRAM being pronounced funny just strikes a nerve and i cant help getting weird about it. |
