A "borrow ditch" is almost always pronounced "bar ditch" in west Texas.

You mean it's not a "bar ditch"? I've never heard it called anything else. I had to google it.

Puma. Sometimes its pew-ma and others its poo-ma.

And I can't say partying without it coming out sounding like potty-ring.

For some damn reason, I have caught myself explicitly enunciating the -ed on words as of late and I have no idea why.

Winged = Wing-gid
Blessed = Bless-sid
Cursed = Curse-sid

I say the h sound in where (i.e., hwere). Probably due to my Scots-Irish heritage. Wife and kids pronounce it like "were" without the h sound.

I have a friend who says both both and bolth. He's a weirdo.
I once knew a guy who said bolth. I think he was from Indiana. Agree it's weird.

When I was a child, I pronounced "doubt" as "adoubt." I was a teenager before I realized I was pronouncing it wrong. Probably the only one on the planet, but I quickly corrected my childish speech.

Potable water. Most people say it thinking it refers to water that you can put in a pot on the stove.

It's pote-able.

Get it right!
