wouldn't it depend on the situation you're in?
like if im hanging out on my stoop and my boy walks by and is like what you doing later, and I respond Imma hit up forty deuce in a minute
vs
sitting on my stoop and a tourist walks by and ask me where is times square, I'll say take the train down to forty second street |

Someone recently noticed that I say /əˈpɹɪ.ʃi.eɪt/ (uh-PRIH-she-ate) rather than /əˈpɹi.ʃi.eɪt/ (uh-PREE-she-ate) and started making fun of me for it.
Put the blame on my Pennsylvania parents.
It feels bizarre to say it the second way. |

| I'm pretty sure that unless I'm talking to someone who's not an English native speaker, I use the first. |

Oh, parents and their weird pronunciations.
To this day I say something along the lines of /kən'neɪst mɪwk/ (kun-NEYST miwk) in Portuguese, instead of /kən'denst mɪwk/ (kun-DENST miwk) for "condensed milk", which would be standard in Brazil. People outside São Paulo often mock me for that. And, for the record, I know there's no "w" in milk, but that's how we aw row :p |

make is incorrect, unnecessary or down right awkward. "make fun of" but not "make mock". Even though I'm ouside of São Paulo I'm trying not to mock you. |
