I thought I mastered the English language. Oh, how I was wrong. My Achilles' heel is saying "coleslaw." For whatever reason I say, "co-slaw." I have failed linguists everywhere.
Over the weekend I also had trouble with the following:
Ed McMahon - called him "Egg McMahon"
Apparently - said "A Parrot lee"
*Mrs. Pearlmutter was my elementary school language teacher.

Correction, Barry. Pearlmutter taught "Speech." It was in a funny room away from the main classrooms and it was one-on-one. Only those of us who were deemed inadequate speakers had to attend. i think my trigger sounds were L's and S's (sally sells seashells by the seashore). looking back i think it's just that i had buck teeth and a jersey accent.
Speed, language. it is all the same. Talk about an awesome job.
As the only one of us that actually had to go to Mrs. Pearlmutter (K-3) I would like to say she was a sham. She kicked me out of speech because :my lisp was hopeless" and what do you know? I was fine a week later. Also, $10 to anyone who can name the girl from denmark (or where ever she was from) who I was in speech with. $15 to anyone who can produce Hugo's, (from 1st grade) last name.
Hugo Partucci.
And Jake I TOTALLY went to Pearlmutter (2 - 5). L's S's. I had problems.
I`m Hugo Partucci. I don`t no now who are you guys but I think that saying my last name is not really difficult. I think that the real problem is in your limited brain capacities. At what school did you guys go? It was in New Jersey?
Col-
Looks like I owe you $15.
i love the internet.
