I don't remember when but this was discussed before a few years ago. It was designed to be "I'm a Mother". The original logo had that in it. I forgot what the original logo looked like but I remember that I'm a Mother was written in it.

I find this thread very offensive.

How I pronounce things is between me and Hashem and I don't want to read about how other people think they are better than me just because they pronounce something differently. Rolling Eyes

Chossidmom, I admire your bitachon, but you are not doing your hishtadlus.
The way you pronounce things should be between you and your speech therapist.

And I resent your interference in my private life. How do you know I have a speech therapist? So now you nosy, interfering imamothers are spying on me? Mods! Delete this thread at once!!!

If you have pronunciation issues, you shouldn't be asking advice on an anonymous forum ANYWAY. I suggest you seek a speech therapist IMMEDIATELY!

That's what always happens on this site. People have problems and expect other forum members to diagnose it for them and give advise.

Whatever happened to professional opinions??!!??

GAMZu, I don't mean to interfere in your personal life, but do you ever sleep? Or did you make aliyah when I wasn't paying attention?

When it looks like the words on the screen
are moving around in front of your eyes,
it means it's time to go to
SLEEP!!!!

1. Isn't it redundant to say ima mother?
2. I don't call my mother, my dh doesn't call his mother, and my kids don't call me...ima, so it wouldn't even cross my mind to read it like that.

I think this question is for your LOR. Either way, I think we should offer the OP support and even a recommendation of a speech therapist if that is what her LOR suggests.

Shows you once again the cultural differences between the MO and charedi communities in EY as opposed to those in golus.

Actually it all stems from what they teach you in sem...if girls should actually learn something that is not going to help them with baking challah and changing diapers, or whether one can study philology, and cultural Jewish grammar...

Depends on who I am speaking to.

I, Ma, MOTHER!!!!

or I.M.A. Mother

You have to be very careful what you ask Jews. If you ask 2 Jews you will get three opinions. Shame on OP for asking.
