PRONOUNCING W

I did something terribly bad a few days ago. A local politician was delivering her speech at an event and I accidentally laughed out loud in the midst of her speech. Why? Because she pronounced the word "W" as "tub-you". I haven't heard anyone pronounce "W" that way since.... well, irony of ironies... back in school. By some of my teachers to boot.



I know, I know... it's extremely juvenile to laugh at someone's poor pronounciation. But it was one of those incidents where I just couldn't suppress my laughter. It was like way back when I was 13 and I chuckled to myself when saw a girl at school dangling a sausage by her lips a day after I watched porn for the very first time... knowing what I knew, it was just an extremely amusing sight to me.

Till she bit the sausage off. I never had a sausage ever again.

Back to the politician, I did try my best to hold back the laugh. But she just went on and said "tub-you" three times... because she was quoting a website address. What's worse? The website address she was referring to... didn't have a www in it.
