I said betta was "bedda" (like the opposite of worse, around here) and beta (like 2nd Greek alphabet letter) is "bay-dah." This IS correct!

Those are "T's" not "D's"! You from Brooklyn or something? :P

Okay, your way is betta than mine, Toirtis...

Wait, 'round here they would say "[acronym:57a6cf7634="mail order"]mo[/acronym:57a6cf7634] betta"

(Ahm Suthern so we say "bedda" but luckily my drawl does not come through cyberspace). I am prepared to be teased when I join the AA members in NYC next weekend.

Actually, my 7 year-old daughter is nearly as bad, she sounds just like an Irish kid saying "Dese", "Dat", and "Doze" instead of "These", "That" and "Those".
