ABW How do yall pronounce water?

[Joshie Kahn]

This was inspired by hearing a dude from ny say water (pronounced: "wour-der") and it kinda sounded like a completely different word at first lmao

Now, I've never heard somebody pronounce water with the "t", it's always pronounced with a "d" no matter where that person comes from.

How do yall pronounce it, I'm in the wa-der camp

I've never heard it not pronounced with a t, I expect country bumpkins to pronounce it with a d.

Pronouncing it with a t feels unnatural to me

Can't imagine pronouncing the "t" in wader, this is coming for somebody who pronounces most words "properly", shit just feels wrong.

Said wa-wa all the way until school when I was laughed at. Damn stutter and my kinfolk who never told me it was water. My mom said it was easier to just let me say shit wrong cause of my stutter than to correct me.
