Wow, I marked C because it turns out that really is how I say it in regular speech. At least I'm pretty sure it is. Recording, however, is A. _________________ 006 member of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Mic. Bonded by sound.

That "C" version is also how the Danish pronounce it. I listen to a lot of rockabilly/psychobilly, and while Kim Nekroman from the Nekromantix seems to have no accent usually when he sings, that glottal-shock "T" gives him away every time. Same with his wife Patricia Day from the Horrorpops. It really stands out. |
