Wow, mama couldn't talk to you. That seems mean. I too, went to speech therapy from I believe kindergarten to first grade all the way through... Gosh, I guess I was in high school. I don't remember. I was born with a high arch in my mouth, so I do not pronounce R's and W's very well at all. The ears, I certainly have to roll my tongue to do it, but it's so unnatural that I never do it. And that makes it a lot easier to understand when I say R's and W's. I'll tell you this, sometimes it's so bad, my wife, you know, we've been married 23 years, and she'll look at me and be like, are you saying this or are you saying this? Because sometimes it's just really tough to understand. I'll be honest with you, I've always hated my voice. I think it's the one thing that I would change about me in a heartbeat. However, most people seem to like it. I will say throughout my life, yeah, as a kid I got made fun of a little bit. But as an adult, Christian in the military, my buddies, we used to go to these clubs and stuff, and I could get into it a lot better than I can now, but I could easily step over to an Australian accent mic and just start talking like I came from down under. You know, we might throw a couple of shrimps on the barbie, you know what I'm saying? Anyhow, we used to go to these clubs and stuff, you know, where I stationed at, or whatever we were doing with the Army guys, and I was required to talk like that because the girls would like to talk to me because they thought I was from some exotic area and that brought them around. Yeah, so there's pros and cons to talking like me, I suppose. KJ5IRQ. Well, at least with Massachusetts, at least with Massachusetts, maybe they were just trying to get you to be wicked smart.
