LING-GER-REE
She came up to me, all smiles and sweetness, and cheerily asked, "Hi, can I help you? Looking for ling-ger-ree for yourself?"
I generally overlook mispronunciation. It is a lost cause after all. Yes, pronunciation can be a matter of regional influence. And I am no expert in linguistics.
But ling-ger-ree?
I suppose she thinks Ero (as in the brand name Ero Lingerie) is singular for Eros?
Sigh. Yes, thank you miss. I am looking for ling-ger-ree for myself. And you can help me.
