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

inkajoo posted:oh and my biggest peeve, it's "poKEHmon", not "pokeymon", people. In that vein, karaoke is not pronounced "kerry-okie," and it's "Tokyo," not "Tokiyo." It's not a 3-syllable word (technically it's 4 syllables, but anyway...) Baka gaijin.

Wendigee posted:you do realize you didn't help anyone right? try it again with american syllables. I think Tokyo is supposed to be Tok-yo? Is that wrong? Also Kerry-yokie is totally how americans pronounce it, whats the proper way? Bro, this thread is for pronouncing words wrong. If you want to pronounce words right, make your own thread. Tokyo is To-kyo and if you read "kara oke" the way a Spanish person would it should be close enough for anyone but the wee-est of weeaboos.

Crimson Harvest posted:Every British pronunciation of foreign words is dumpster-speak. I think there was a time in the 18th century when pronouncing foreign words according to English rules was considered fashionable, like saying the S in Calais. I suppose it was a protest against French being the lingua franca of Europe. I think now they're just doing it to be dicks, though.

Aluminium: Lighter than alumedium and lighter still than alumaxium. I think that's what we should call Aluminum-28 and -29, but apparently we've made all the way up to Al-42. Aludekahypermaxium?

Fister Roboto posted:A whole nother thing. That's a charming one. I'm not sure if that originated as inserting "whole" into "another," in the manner of "abso-loving-lutely," or if it's genuine ignorance. Do you mock them by offering a half nother or three-quarters of a nother?

Baronjutter posted:My boss when talking about printer toner will say "Ky-ann" and I'll say "sigh-ann" and everyone I know says it like cy not ky but I hear my boss saying it that way so much I started to doubt my self. Is it a regional thing or is he just wrong? Yes and no. The word comes from the Greek word kuaneos. So in the Greek region he'd be right.
