As a native English speaker, I'm having a hard time piecing this together. I
can get the gist, but part of it might be the way my dialect pronounces
vowels, coupled with my general inadequacy with pronounciation (especially
vowels) in general. It doesn't sound, to my ear, like any dialect of English
I know.

But I could just be trying too hard.
