Surely not dead. Sleeping? In a coma? Mostly dead?

If it's the last, I think we should send for Miracle Max toute fucking suite. (Clearly I should sleep - I'm obviously delirious.)

Okay, not dead, just in hibernation. This weekend should be wonders for it.

Wor-ter

Snap!

My accent is Irish/Australian/confused - "water" rhymes with "daughter" for me, and "leisure" is le-zher.

How bizarre that this is the second time in a week I've seen the word 'eleemosynary' and I don't recall having seen it before, ever, in my life. I think the other time was in an article about local zoning issues.

May your porn return to you swiftly, its *ahem* vigor renewed.

[smonsterbite.livejournal.com]

And on reflection, I actually say 'wood-er.' It's an onoing mystery as to why.

It's pronounced "war-der", with a bit of a roll to the "d". Unless one is being precise, in which case, it's "war-ter".

(I'm from Noo Yawk.)

I say Wah-der. :) Sorry about your porn.

"Nabilitating" because today a stupid person thought that was how nail-biting was pronounced.

(Oh, and for number 1, really I'd pronounce it "War-ter")

Water = wart-er in my English accent. Also leisure is more like lez-sure. Or maybe that's just the way I say it.

[shehasathree]

similar with my Australian accent.

[shrewreader.livejournal.com]

wa-ter -- no aspirating 'h' sound. devocalized end. Please pardon the language geek.

[shehasathree]

:D

Water = waugh-ter. Because I'm British.
Also leisure, whilst it is also pronounced as watching hot men, is actually pronounced le-zhure. Because again, with the British.

[issaro.livejournal.com]

In Jersey it's Wood-er. And Ruff (Roof). If we get my mom going, she's good for a whole night's entertainment. ALso, YAYEDDIE!!!

and i pronounce leisure differently depending on the phrase.
"at your leisure" is lez-ure (probably corresponding to lesh-sure in the poll).
but in most other contexts, such as "leisure suit," it's lee-zure (probably corresponding to lee-shure).

[lukataintedlove.livejournal.com]

I'm from a town in North East England call Hull (or 'ull to the people who live here)
We like vowels a lot here. We therefore exaggerate them beyond belief.

Water is Wart-uur.

Herb is Huurb.

It's pronounced wah-ter because I am boring and hence, have no accent. -Erb without the 'H' because if you want to order marijuana secretly, it's a very, very good euphimism to use. Don't know about the third poll so I closed my eyes and pointed.

Oooo! George at Angelina's baby shower! Yes, he will be bored. He will think Angelina's sexiness transcends all genders and sexuality but baby showers are VERY boring. It's not as if the baby can appreciate the stuff it's getting. You could get it a vibrator and it would make no difference. Oh... I can so see YOUR Ari doing that. And the baby's a boy and Ari's reasoning would be somewhere along the lines of "What? The baby's father's name is Bradley. Trust me, he's going to be a shirt-lifter. At least, I'm giving him a headstart on his bees and the bees."

And George would try his damn hardest to be stern and reprimanding but he'll be laughing inside.

My word of the day is "veracity". Something which Ari's words sometimes lack. But we love him for it. Jeremy Piven is hot. What was the question again?

Hi. I seem to recall that you had a fascination with Cillian Murphy, so when I saw a link to him singing in a music video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=9Czt3ajZ9Is), I thought you might like to know.
Um. Yeah. Whew.
