Homogenous and homogeneous are technically two different words but they have similar meanings and in many places homogenous is taking over both uses and pronunciations.

Homogenous and homogeneous are two different, but similar meaning words if that is what is causing this little argument. Oh, beaten

OctoberBlues posted:Gyro is another one that I have a problem with, but it's different from the words I originally posted. The correct pronunciation seems to be something like year-oh, but everyone seems to say it slightly different, with different emphasis and flair. A Greek in my home town used to tell everyone that came into his restaurant that it was "gee roh" or "yee row" but in NYC you are supposed to say "jhai row" and I therefore consider "jhai row" to be a regionalism. While NYC has the lowest proportion of soft headed hicks of anywhere in the country that doesn't mean they don't have some and are definitely wrong about some language things. Such as gyro.

numberoneposter posted:whinge I don't like how queue is spelled. It should just be que or better still cue. When see "queue" written out I want to say "quay quay" which is idiotic.

Well thank god for that, I just remember hearing the homo-geneous pronunciation in science classes and thinking how dumb it sounded.

I'm legit surprised that Ex-presso isn't a formally accepted pronunciation because it seems like goddamn everyone says it.

Here's a little tip to all the suburbanites out there: The way ethnics say it in Ethnic doesn't correlate 1:1 with how we say it in English. If you go to Mexico you don't find people saying "Picks-ar" or "tel uh vish un" they gently caress it up and say "Peek sar" and "tel ay vees eon" this is the way language works.

People who pronounce 'sherbet' with a superfluous R, making it sound like "sher-burt" deserve to be lined up against the wall.

My father says warsh and Warshington. I used to make fun of him for it, but I think it legit made him feel bad so I stopped, I suppose it's not his fault he was raised in Missour-ah.
