Routers "root", armies "rowt".

How do you guys have the pressure when you pronounce database? Do you say database or database or database?

All your database are belong to us!

This thread gives me an eery sense of deja vu.

Funny ting is I scored 49% dixie on the first test and 33% on the more advanced one.

I'm from Delaware so it makes a lot of sense. We're in the middle of all that language whoo ha. We have Maryland to the left of us and PA (primarily Philadelphia and its sub regions to the north of us a little bit. We also have New Jersey north of us as well.

We don't say the shore in DE, we say beach. We also say beach in Norther california.
 
I don't care how anyone pronounces anything, as long as they don't say 'off of' or 'of a'. Both of those are bad English in either variant of the language.

Examples:

RV770 was built off of the RV670 design
800sp seems to be too be of a step for AMD to take at this stage

vs.

RV770 was built on the RV670 design
800sp seems to be too big a step for AMD to take at this stage
