The important question is "How do you pronounce 'measure'?" My family and I say "may-zure". My wife makes fun of me, because she says it like "mehzure".
Haha , yeah, there are alot of words like that. Wash or worsh? On or own? BTW, I'm a "mehzure" girl myself.

I concur... with your wife.
Letterman sometimes says "may-zure," and when he does it makes me laugh, so it can't be all bad. 
Me too. For some reason it's funny to hear a diphthong where you expect a regular vowel.

I say "y'all" on occasion.
I even say "all ya'll" sometimes.
Usually only when I've been really drunk for a while, though... then my 5 years of living in Missouri start to creep into my voice.

My ex-boyfriend mocked me mercilessly for saying may-zure. I had never realized the difference before, now I can't say the word without consciously thinking about the pronunciation.
