Does anyone else tend to have playful arguments about how to pronounce things or what to cal certain things because of your different accents or just having different words for things.
For example, the thing that prompted me to make this was us arguing over pasta. Being American, I say paw-stuh. He, being English, say past-uh. Which all good and well, except he keeps telling me there's an 'r' sound in my version, and that I'm saying parsta. Which I've now understood is because English people don't pronounce r's. (faster becomes fasta, par becomes paw, etc.) But I can't explain to him that his -ar- is my -aw- so there's is no 'r' in my pasta.... It's a confusing mess lol.
Anyway! What do you guys argue about, if anything?
