Who has a link to the site where you can get words pronounced?

Along those lines, this has been bugging me for months - has anyone noticed

people on tv pronouce the word "food" as "feeuuuud"? Does this drive anyone else bananas? It is a regional accent that I'm not not familiar with (or valley girl speak?)?

 
Nah, I have a whole lot of 'em. Especially some women's voices really

irritate me... fast talkers, valley speak, the word "freeeeut" when they mean "fruit" people that say "sh" when they mean "s" (think shoeshrting), the window commercial when they say "how can we get thooot", the way Martha Stewart says "dauooollar" (dollar); oh I could go on and on.

It's like they're trying to accennnnnntuate the word to make them seem sophhhhhhhisticated!
