Don't get mad at me for the way you speak!!

I hear you there, Mike

But seriously though, the mumble/yell type are impossible. You can never hear a damn thing they say, it's almost as if they purposely speak as soft and as mumbojumboed as possible, just so they can yell at you "I SAID....!!!!" when you ask them to repeat themselves for the umpteenth time.

I have an ex like that, too. He had a never ending male menstrual cycle.....and he developed a really bad habbit of mumbling. Constantly mumbling. And when I'd have the nerve to ask him to please speak up, he'd raise his voice to un-necessarily loud levels and pretty much yell what he originally said to me.

You mean you don't have da bwoo wun by dat guy, yu no, he was on oh-bra...

Ok that does it, I'm going to share some pidgin with you people. This is an exceprt from Da Jesus Book, or in other words the New Testement. This is part of the introduction to the book.

"Wat Dis Book Say

Dis book, da first one dat give da local Hawaii Pidgin for da whole New Testamen from da Bible. Had 26 local peopo dat stay talk Pidgin from small kid time, dat wen translate dis book."

I can understand it written or spoken slowly, but when they talk normal speed ZOOM!

lisps don't bother me. that's something that's physical, not learned
one of my friends has one... when i first met him i was trying to figure out his accent and he explained. then i just got use to his voice

what annoys me is when poor pronunciation is learned, and then the speaker gets mad over others not being able to understand them.
