So here are the words and questions:
Aunt, Route, Theater, Iron, Caramel, Water, Sure, Data, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught/Cot, Dawn/Don
- What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
- What is the bug called that curls into a ball when you touch it?
- What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
- What do you call gym shoes?
- What do you say to address a group of people?
- What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
- What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
Some words that I think should be added but didn't think of before I made it: Museum, Enough, and Marinara.
"Museum" is kind of like "theater" in that I used to say myoo-Zam like "sam," but got made fun of so now I say "myoo-Zee-um." For "enough," I used to say "ee-Nuff," but someone made fun of me so now I say "uh-Nuff" or "eh-Nuff." My friend also told me the other day that I say "marinara" wrong (with both a's like in "arctic" instead of "air"). According to Josh, people in Washington (state, not DC) actually pronounce the t's at the end of words, like "quiet" or whatever, but I don't..or in the middle of words really (like Jessi said, "little" = liddle). Oh and in Boston we have this word "frappe," which I say as one syllable, like "frap." But it just means a milkshake. I say milkshake in everyday life or in a restaurant, but if you're getting one in an ice cream shop specifically it's probably on the menu as a frappe. Isn't that weird?
How do you guys say these things? Or better yet, post a vlog so I can see! :)

I'm so glad you did this!! :-) We say pretty much everything the same, with the exception of "pajamas". Yay for not pronouncing Ts, haha- it must be an outside-of-Boston thing. I LOVE the disdain in your voice when you said "It's soda- not pop and not coke!"
