Ask Lemmy

Cape CANNA VERR ALL = Cape Canaveral

Why? Because I can.

How about Chipotle as chee~pot~ole

"It is called 'baggel'. I lived in New York."

Not me, but I know a bondage instructor who pronounces "bondage" like you would in French.

I think if you're teaching something you should know the pronunciations. Didn't take long to find other stuff wrong with him. My wife and I quickly left and sought our education elsewhere.

I cop it from my friends and family for the way I say "baloon"

I say bloon with no a sound.

I think it stems from learning to spell it wrong as a child I never put the a in there to begin with and no one corrected me and by the time I realised it was to late

I also can't pronounce "regularly" to save my damn life.

When I say it i add syllables to the thing I think.

Reg u ar ly

Bona fide. It's latin, you say it Bow-nah Fee-day.

I am the odd one out accent-wise, I am a woman with what would be called a Kiwi accent in a place where everyone else speaks with either a neutral American accent or a New England accent and one of the most common first questions people ask me is if I can say "envelope" for them.

YouChyoob.

I pronounce the Texas Houston the same as the. NYC street

I tend to say Wensleydale, Tuesleydale and Thursleydale as the days of the week. It started as a thing I said to myself because I found it funny, but occasionally I'll slip and say one of them out loud when I'm tired.

Yes.

I pronounce "roster" like "rooster", because it amuses me.

Where did you grow up to learn to say south-urn?

I over-pronounce Wednesday. Like wed-nes-day. Most people say wendsday.

Also apparently I'm weird for pronouncing jewelry correctly. I pronounce it like it is spelled, and what it means. It is personal ornaments often containing jewels. Jewel-ry. Not Joolery.

Same thing with Aunt. It's not Ant. There is a U in there.
