"Ninety" has a "T" in it

[copydesk2]

As "Nine-T point one." Not "Nin-ee point one."

 

[Basketballfan]

It's not a problem. Come to think of it, I don't usually say the second "d" in didn't. It's more like di-nt.

You're in Texas, where it is nine-y to a hunnert degrees, and one must divine what kind of soda "Coke" means when taking an order at the fountain.

Just sayin' is all.

So does FIFTY. And "fi-tee" is NOT a Texas thing

Should I mention that there is an 'L' in W or has that horse been beaten to death?

 

[Silkie]

[Lancer]

Good catch.

It's actually a double-u if it is lower case cursive, but a double-v if it is in caps.

Small wonder we was even learnt to talk at all.

Small wonder we was even learnt to talk at all.
