Just a heads-up - anybody doing that American English meme, could you put it behind a cut-tag? It's screwing up my layout...

ETA: trying to take it myself, and this question -

16. The second syllable in pajamas sounds like:

The A in jam
The A in father


*weeps* Those two sounds are identical in my accent! How do I pick?!

...whereas I took it and thought "that's not how you spell pyjamas..."

My accent is all over, tho. Seriously. Most Americans think I'm Canadian, when they first meet me, because of my vowels. But my cadences are totally whacked. My sister sounds nothing like me--she says "pellah" instead of "pillow" and "melk" instead of "milk."
