Watched Jerry Springer today 7-1-07 for 15 minutes with the caption "No More Beer!"
Tavares, a man objected to a fellow by the name of Jermaine dating his sister because he was a problem drinker, "No, he's not abrusing her no mo', said Tavares."
I have never heard of the word abusing pronounced in that way, Jerry corrected him, and he repeated the word "abrusing." Now, where along the way did he learn to pronounce abusing as "abrusing"? And on more than one occasion, I have heard the word “brutiful” on these talk shows.
Is pronouncing those words a regional practice of speaking or are these folks lacking in the most basics of abc's? Surely, they have heard the words pronounced correctly. What is their problem? It needs to stop.
