The pronunciation thread
 
I'm sure there are plenty of head to heads that I can't think of right now, but a few to start us off:

YOGHURT: Yaw-gurt vs Yo-gurt
EITHER: Eye-ther vs Ee-ther
NEITHER: Nigh-ther vs Knee-ther
TOMATO: Toe-may-toe vs Toe-ma-toe
SCHEDULE: shed-yule vs sked-yule


Personally I say Yaw-gurt, Eye-ther, Nigh-ther, Toe-ma-toe, shed-yule

How about you? Any other examples?

Niall 29-07-2011 12:38 AM

I say Yaw-gurt, Eye-ther, Nigh-ther, Toe-ma-toe and sked-yule. C:

Sc-on or Sc-own.

I'm a sc-on man.

Z 29-07-2011 12:48 AM

bath, not barth.
grass, not grahss.
glass, not glahss.

I avoided a words because that tends to be an accent dictated thing, i.e. you'd sound ridiculous saying grass my way if you were from Devon or something.


Sc-on, KG!

Niall 29-07-2011 12:50 AM

ITS SC-OWN. UGH. :mad:

Joelle. 29-07-2011 12:50 AM

You say tomayto, I say tomato.

Jords 29-07-2011 12:50 AM

I say both sc-on and sc-own :laugh:
