In fairness doesn’t the American accent in general have trouble pronouncing T’s?
Americans don’t accentuate the T’s as much as the British, but there are many times when we do. For example, in “hospitality,” we prounounce the first t as the Queen would prefer, but the second t as a d. In the word “important,” we are much more subtle about pronouncing the first t, but most of us don’t say “impordant” the way this rabbi does. One of my high school classmates also had that issue. He was in my Latin class but pronounced it “Laddin.” I used to make jokes about Aladdin’s lamp - hopefully I didn’t rub him the wrong way.
I saw a Publishers Clearing House ad with Brad Paisley and was annoyed not to see Peyton Manning in it.
Home pregnancy test commercials: The first, non-brand one they try always has an ambiguous readout. (That’s not the part that bugs me.)
Then, when they read the advertised product, the result is always positive. In that the person is pregnant. And the lady is always happy.
How come no one is ever saddened by a positive result? Not everyone wants a baby.
Or how come they don’t show a negative result and have the lady or couple be relieved?
Of course, it does differ somewhat depending on which American accent you have:
[that’s part 1, and yes, totally on point about Ocracoke, but then he would be – this is his area of expertise]
English speaking North America. Proceeds to go through everywhere south of Canada and north of Mexico lol.
I’d have been interested in him reviewing some of the accents and dialects in eastern Canada. Ngl, I can’t even understand some of them.
He says he’s going to get into Canadian accents. Does he not?
Maybe in a different video. I watched that one for like 20 minutes then Fast forwarded, it was all u.s.
Nbd, just thought it was funny.
Oh, at the end he says this is the first of a series, and he promises to cover more ground, including Canada, in the next episode. He never got west of the Mississippi, either.
Doesn’t really bother me, but didn’t know where else to put it…

Couldn’t they have at least tried to make that into a haiku? Like in Avatar…
Yeah, this video was posted recently, and I expect more videos, but it may be a week+ between videos
Microwaves that don’t have short cut keys for 1, 2, 3, 4 minutes by pushing one button.

The one in my office has that problem. I set it to 66 seconds because it take less time than punching in 1:00

Mine has an “add 30 seconds” button that gets lots of use. Also 99 seconds is pretty much a default time I punch in.

That’s a great feature for those instant rice packets we get at Costco
I use the 30-second button all the time.
Especially for the offending micro at work. Instead of heating something up for a minute and use 4 button-pushes, I just band the 30 sec one twice.
I wash my glasses with soap and water, but it’s amazing how fast all the grease, eyelashes, fingerprints, and all around crap builds up on the lenses again!!!
You should start shopping at Bath & Body Works. Me and my wife love going in there and picking all that stuff out for our house every 3 months or so. Like a little mini date. Maybe not as fun with a really young child though. I am starting to forget those things my children are getting so old.
I hate microwaves that only have shortcut keys. Drives me crazy that I can’t be precise.
Mini-dates, something else covid has killed. We don’t do BB&Beyond, but there’s a small village near here that’s got a small diner where the locals look at you when you walk in and the kitchen is right in the dining room (it’s the front room of someone’s house). Dinner there for two, then across the road to browse the country hardware store. Great date night for about $25 every six months.
