for some reason i starting saying "stow-pid" instead of "stoo-pid"

"mwo-ter" instead of "mow-ter" in motorcycle. i say it fine when "motor" is by itself, but not when its "motorcycle"

i always fuck up the accent on "sarcasm", because i think of "sarCASTic" first, and i end up saying "sarCASM" instead of "SARcasm", which sounds stupid

What kind of insta-boner accent do you have? yes;

i always feel that i pronounce things oddly :[

i can almost never pronounce "question" right

Sometimes I'll say something like "kweshin" or "kwestin"

I remember it like this.

"Put down the bass (base) so I can sit on the guitar case".
And thanks to Animal Crossing...
"A BASS!? WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS!"

When I say math, it sounds like MAFT.
Teeth= Teeft
Truth= truft.

In other words, I suck at pronouncing my "th's"

Thyme

Oh, also, apparently when I say "third" it sounds like "turd". I do try to pronounce the th sound, but it seems it's not enough. O_0

I think your commas are fine, but I've been known to overuse them as well, so idk n_u

Apparently I tend to cut off the second g in "going" when I'm talking fast... This causes my floormates to speak in a southern accent when doing impressions of me saddood;
I think cutting of the g at the end of words that end in -ing is part of the northern accent. I've noticed most people here in Michigan tend to get rid of that g.

Well that would make sense because my parents are both from Michigan... I only cut off the g in "going" though, not any other ing words

I thought it was a common part of all English accents. goonish

Also, being lazy and saying 'wanna' or 'kinda'.
