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. Is there supposed to be a silent G in Gyro?

'Carmel' for 'caramel.' The word has a loving A in it. Also 'on-velope' for envelope.

I have a coworker who says variedible instead of variable and it bothers me on an emotional level. Also every time I have to say the word melee there's a 75 percent chance of saying me lee instead of may lay because I read the word in a book before I ever heard it. Similar thing with herb.

Hobologist posted:Well, "asked" is hard to say because of the double plosive. Just say "asst" instead. It's more fun. I read an article written by an actual linguist about this and he attributed it to social forces -- eg, "asked" is hard to say for everyone so all small kids say "axe you about it" at some point in their lives. The difference is kids whose parents either have bad educations and don't know the difference or else kids who are from a culture that takes pride in being non-white will not tell them its the wrong way to say it and force correction, these same kids are also far less likely to have a peer group that makes fun of them for saying "axe" in school. English has a fairly large number of consonant clusters so going down the road of "just say it the easy way" can actually lead to intelligibility issues. There are languages that are worse in this regard though. Supposedly Basque is very bad but I know nothing of it. Khmer is really bad for consonants packing together.
