Aluminium.

And damne, I amme owned (pronounced oh-ned).

Edit: Oh, it's a U.S. spelling book I see now, that explains all the prononciation bastardisations.

And yes, Devils Affricate, I know the English love buggery on the high seas so we Australian convict sons of poms are in no position to point the finger at bastards.

Could you describe that pronunciation in IPA? It's hard to tell exactly what "bow-keh'" stands for.

Tried to order a gyro today and the guy behind the counter laughed at me. I thought of this thread and was hoping for the final word on how to say this.

"Gyro" please.

"Gimme a 'gently caress you roll' then, and I'm watching you to make sure you don't spit on it, jerk."

If he still serves you, then after you get the gyro, unwrap everything and throw it all n his fool face, "You ain't laughin' now, beatch!"

Sadly, this is the closest we have. How does the counter guy pronounce it?

I never understood why statesians are so confounded by worcestershire sauce.

A lot of the time when i say worcestershire sauce around company I'll get something like "what did you say? " or "why do you say it like that? " and i try to tell them that it's pronounced like Worcester, Massachusetts and they are always disbelieving those motherfuckers

Also last time i got a gyro the guy pronounced it sort of like like yee row and i have no idea if that's right but that's how i say it

I think the better question is why either are spelled like that.

The pronunciation of those names makes more sense when you realize they're two-parters with silent 'e's in the first part. Worce-ster. Leice-ster.
