What the hell! Let's all just go crazy!
(lemmy.world)
I... I already did pronounce the L 😔
Freak
American and urban? I've noticed that all a lot of black people in and near cities pronounce the L. I always get a chuckle and they look at me like I'm a pompous British/French general from the 1800s or an idiot that can't pronounce Ls.
From now on I'll pronounce Worcester as whore Chester.
Leave Chester alone, he's just misunderstood!
You're not supposed to? Not a native English speaker.
I speak Spanish and it's wild to have no many randomly decided silent letters in words. We have the H that is silent always, and that's it. We have Salmón, with the intonation in the o, and we of course pronounce the L. I can't even say salmon without the L while not sounding stupid.
You should see Fr*nch.
They only pronounce the vowels and once in a blue moon a consonant.
The Channel Lock Lets Boats Through
Now in French:
E a'el oh es oas trou
stares from Portugal
"nh" and "lh" are sounds
Salmon in English sounds like semen in Spanish
what
is it not pronounced /sɔɫ.mən/ (sol-muhn)???
SAM-in
Just as long as I can simultaneously drop the'l' sound from salmonella
Can anyone say the s and the th in Isthmus? It's making my tongue feel funny.
As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked
I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.
*They put sall-mon in the fish tacos, Hank. ¡SALL-MON!
I can't believe this is already here. That's what I was gonna post!
Yes! Pronounce your letters, don't be weird! (I know this is not about this, but I'll probably never be able to tell this to any anglophone.)
How should I say should? How should I talk talk? Should I talk to the Colonel about putting the scissors in the drawer?
"Talk" like in "calc" but the first letter is a "t". "Should" as in "shoulder", just without the "er". And so on...
Oh fine, let's just start pronouncing "recognize" as though there were actually a "G" in it then!! I mean where does the madness stop!!
Or the t in exactly.
Actually that sort of annoys me...
Exackly! I reconize your problem. Now I'm off to go buy some jewluhry.
as a swede whose accent is a hodgepodge of everything between scottish to RP to some vague average of american plus of course swenglish, i have spoken into the void and it spake back.
aj räckågnaiz de sällmån
I should have been saying it like that all along, but, you know, woulda, coulda, shoulda!
Next you'll be telling me I should pronounce the L in island as well!
And pronounce aluminum the wrong way too.
And pronounce the letter H incorrectly! Why not?
