How do you pronounce nostalgia? I always said nus-tol-juh, but a lot of others say nas-tal-juh.

Illiterate on it's own means unable to read or write (occasionally mentioning intelligence), it has very little to do with pronunciation.

Someone should lol to this because there is no other synonym to describe it.

Doesn't your pronunciation of words depend on your accent?

Americunts always slack off with pronouncing things. For instance:
Australia -
Aw-st-ray-lee-uh, Not 'Aww-stral-ya'.

Yeah well American accents annoy the shit out of me. I'm sure that goes both ways, but I don't care.
