I may be Italian from my mothers side but my father is from the south and for some wierd reason I do tend to say many words with quite the southern drawl so now that you bring this up, I just took a minute or two and said it a couple times and just realized I say "phEtographer".
Not quite as bad as how I pronounce some other words though being the midwest italian-hillbilly that I am!
What'er y'all talkin' 'bout on this here fertografy forrrm. Tha ain't nuttin wrerong with how I pernounce "fertografy."
[being from Georgia, I'm an expert in adding syllables where there are none, removing them from where they're supposed to be, and mispernouncin' all kinds of words]
Ah, the lot of you are from the States, aren't you? (even Steve is from the 51st state, Brisvegas or so).
Come down to South Australia, we're probably the only ones who actually pronounce english properly...
An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.

It is a US English thing, I guess. I am a transplanted southerner, but I hear it all the time in Pennsylvania, and from the news presenters on CNN, etc.. But if you listen, EVERYONE does it.

In the US we do not speak English. Remember, we fought a war well over 200 years ago to break away from English rule. We speak American.Originally Posted by Dr Croubie
and it is quite different.
Of course here in Texas we speak Texan.

Come across to Mount Isa, where it's a requirement by law to say 'eh' at the end of every sentence. In fact, 'eh' essentially replaces the '?' at the end of a sentence. e.g. "Dat camra's a flash one eh!"

Just be glad you're not in New England, where the terminal letter 'r' is missing from the local patois, and they say, "phertahhhgraphahhhhhh."
British here, and we say Phe-tog-raff-er too...
