That is how most of us Americans pronounce it. It’s wrong, but I know I’m fighting a losing battle on this one, and I need to maintain my energy correcting people on what an implosion is, so I let this one slide, usually.

What about the word Crayola?
If Crayon = Cran
and not (going by the phonetic spelling) Cray-on
Then Crayola should be Crayla “You got me on my knees” 
I’m thinking ya don’t know shiyot from Shinola.

Meh, regional differences exist. It doesn’t make one right or the other wrong. We grew up with what we grew up with. We will always view those who do things different than we do as “wrong” but to them, we’re the wrong one. It’s just life.

I have heard both Crayon and Cran used, but always regarded “cran” as a lazy way of saying it since it seemed like the “yaw” part was being ignored.
There are other things that are just as weird or silly. The whole .gif thing. And that one time I heard someone say the word “vittles” when reading the word victuals. I thought they were a bit dumb for saying it differently from how it was obviously spelled. 
I later learned it was one of those archaic words from medieval times or whenever… And that was somehow the correct pronunciation.
Summer has begun.
I can tell because it was 31 at 8:30 in the morning, it isn’t even midday yet (with a high of 38). It is supposed to reach thirty eight and it will be thirty five with rain tomorrow.

I edited your quote because I had to laugh. Everything above is true if I were (and am) posting from North America. C vs F

Oh yeah I should translate for the Americans (and Liberians, oh and the Caymanians out there as well.)
In freedom units, it was 89.6 at 8:30 with today’s high being 100 and tomorrow being 95 with a chance of rain.

Sand surfing! 3 trips and I only busted my ass once. I would have done more but the walk up was pure misery, especially the last 15 feet.

Was preparing to write more positive text about this, but this is life.
Have failed my driving test today as they said due to overtaking a cyclist on a crossing.
Won’t argue with that as I don’t remember that crossing there, I have been focused on surroundings and oncoming traffic, and seems like I’ve passed it and then did the maneuver.
Still this little thing ruined everything.
Well, not little, but except this I would have passed

You may take it again soon. Do not despair.
View from my hotel. In the bar I met a dude who is from Bahrain. He wears the traditional abaya (man dress) and he drinks at a fair pace. The guy was very funny. He said Americans are silly b/c we vote and then we get assholes as leaders. He said in Bahrain they have an asshole for a King, but at least they don’t have to waste their time voting

I failed my theory test four times and my practical test 2 times before I got my licence, nowadays I work as a pizza delivery driver. Don’t worry man, you’ll get there eventually, it just takes time and patience.

Don’t know where you’re at, so I don’t know what the specific laws are where you live, but I do administer driving tests and issue licenses for a living. I might be able to help if you have questions.

Hope so, hope so, but the main issue with those fucking dates
I know I will, but it also takes money. And sometimes I think I want to give up because there are no nearest test dates available. I could’ve passed it (at least try it) in spring, but I had to wait till December because of this crap. And now more waiting ahead. Though I hope on some cancellation
I have just one. Why there are no test dates available? 
Well, and a small another one: why they can cancel a test minutes before it starts because of examiner didn’t show up at work and couldn’t replace them with another person to still conduct a test?
Well, depends on where you are, but for here in Texas, for question one, too many people making appointments and not enough employees to accommodate them. As for the second, that doesn’t happen here, a test would only be canceled if it turned out you didn’t do something you needed to do before the test, if the system goes down before payment for the test can be collected, or if weather conditions make the road unsafe.
