Language difference

[lady_p_gold]

Being English I say when given a cup of coffee 'has it got sugar in' but when I am in America they all say it sounds strange and that it should be 'has it got sugar in it' ...... both seem correct .... Do they mean the same ????? Discussion please !

I've lived on the West coast and the East coast and have family in Boston. I have never heard, nor have studied any dialect that calls "pasta" - "PARSTA" or cuba -"Cubar". I even asked people I work with to double check myself, and they all agree. Plus that sounds ridiculous, that's worse then a Minnasotta accent.

oops-minnesota

Unless it's an old school way of talking ,..that I wouldnt know. I do remember Bostonians saying "Idear", that's also still common in the south. I've heard "californier" vs. "california" . But honestly, Parsta? That's just cruel.

Hmmm, perhaps Jack Kennedy, the President wasn't from Boston? He, along with his brothers Robert and Teddy called Cuba, Cuber... as well as other such words... Uff da, what about Minnesota is ridiculous, then?

[dancealot13]

The Minnesota accent is just terrible, wouldn't you agree. It's nasaly. Roof is Ruf, foot is Fut, uugh I can't stand it.

I understand the R at the end of a word that ends with a vowel is common for Boston. But putting an R in the middle of PASTA wouldnt go along with that dialect. It would be Pastar if anything.

Clanad- Are you male or female? I would guess your a guy because you seem to be turning a conversation into an argument ;) lol
