They pronounce it marmalard in lady marmalade

Livia

Did you know that marmalade is called that because it used to be made from quince instead of oranges, and the Portuguese for quince is marmelo. Useless fact no. 4230491239498

Yes I see what you mean Chuck, pure common sense to pronounce an R in the word when there isn't one in it :idc:

Benjamin

You also pronounce it On-va-low-p.

And Marmalard is how my family say it :hmph:

I have a sticky brain for stuff like that. If only I could remember the important stuff.

No I would say En-vell-uped because Envelope is a different thing.

the only other time I've seen the word creole being used is in the unreleased beyonce song

crap song but fierce production

Chuck

Ben thinks he sounds posh saying marmalard when he probably just sounds illiterate.

Livia
24-01-2014, 07:28 PM
No I would say En-vel-oped because Envelope is a different thing.

Not really... something that envelopes, a wrapping. You're just a fickle, fickle man Ben x

Do you say it as if you would the plural of envelope? I would say it as I would develop.

enveloped - en-VEL-oped
envelope - EN-vel-ope

The stress is in different places but I pronounce them the same.

So as a teen you would say "GUYS GUYS GUESS WHAT I JUST GOT LARD!"

Livia
24-01-2014, 07:34 PM
Do you say it as if you would the plural of envelope? I would say it as I would develop.

Yes... but it's quite clearly an 'en' and not an 'on'.

And you're fickle x

Marie Laveau was a creole, wasn't she

I think it's an ethnic group or a language

Benjamin

Different spelling of that word and I would never say that expression when I had sex. :tongue:

Benjamin
