Citi: Accessories

This commercial represents one of my new pet peeves, but it would seem that nobody else notices it but me and a couple of equally picky friends. The commercial itself is fine, though it's a little too cute by half. What bothers me is that the female announcer says, "And what girl woonent want..." This is a new epidemic pronunciation problem, mostly among young woman but some men, too, as I pointed out in another post. Instead of saying "wouldn't" "couldn't" and "shouldn't", these challenged speakers say "woonent." "coonnent," and "shoonent". If you can't hear it, I envy you.
