Why do the brothers pronounce it "baton Ruuuuuuuge"? In fact, why do the pronounce most shite the way they do? Puon-sil (pencil). Earrnge (orange), credik, etc.


my urban linguistics knowledge is not sufficient to answer the questions you pose.

I guess they are trying to sound like natives, and they think they have us fooled. It's not working. It's just like I would sound if I were in NYC trying to do a Brooklyn accent.
