This is completely off topic, but this always confused me. Alot of times I see people on various sites writing god as "gawd". Now, to me, "god" and "gawd" are pronounced the same way. Maybe its my Bostonian accent, I don't know, but I always assumed this is how everyone pronouced it. And people pronounce it the same way here in Canada, so that just re-enforced
What I'm asking is, when people write "gawd", is it supposed to denote a "different" pronounciation of how they normally say "god", or is it supposed to just be a funny way of spelling it. And if its the pronounciation, what kind of people, in your mind, would say it that way? Just curious...

Thousands of men visit Cryos's three Danish donation centers, most of them students. They are paid $40.50 for each donation.

"Gawd" has a slightly heavier accent and longer drawl on the vowel than "God." At least, that's how I hear it.

Don't the German law makers want to make sperm donors pay child support?

I actually considered trying to become a sperm doner for cash last semester. Pity I'm going overseas, because sperm donation requires a 6 month commitment....

Childless couples can browse through about 250 successful donors on Cryos' U.S. web, under Viking aliases such as Birk, Gorm, Olaf and Thor

AWESOME! Your father could be a Viking berzerker! Prepare for the influx of millions of Viking-Americans - Valhalla, I am coming!
I haven't participated yet, but I once recieved $80 for my semen as part of a nation-wide sperm quality test.

Wait a minute... am I understanding this correctly?
$40.50 per donation? Hypothetically you could get $600 a month! How is it financially feasable to pay that amount to so many people?

The donors are selected, apparently.

well that amount is next to nothing compared to the amount of money people pay for it in the clinics!
it's just like organ donors. Moldavian donors will receive $5000 for a kidney, while it costs the rich but sick patient a whooooole lot more than that! naturally that $5000 is spent relatively quickly so that Moldavian dude is now again very poor, and weakened

'gawd' comes from cockney by the way, as in 'gawd blimey'

Hmmmm.... How many of you think that the "o" in dog and god are pronounced the same? I don't. The "o" in dog rhymes with log and fog, while the "o" in god rhymes with cod and nod and pod. The former are much more like "gawd" than the latter are.
Just me, probably.

How're 'dog' and 'god' pronounced alike?!
'o' in 'dog' sounds like 'aw'
'o' in 'god' sounds like 'ah'

Yeah, in dog the little trailing consonant-sound on the 'o' is a 'w', whereas in god it's a 'y'.
