Sep. 28th, 2009 10:22 pmI've noticed that folks around here pronounce the word "measure" differently than I. The first time I heard it, I assumed that maybe the person saying it was from Canada. But no, born and raised in Central Washington.
I say measure sort of like "meh-zure," and had assumed this to be normal.
Folks round here say "May-zure." The difference being the pronunciation of the first vowel.
What's with that? Does it occur elsewhere in the country?
