the uh-pree-she-ay-shun conflagration thread (sufu phonetics 101)

[jpgm]

as we are well aware, many of us on this here forum pronounce words differently to one another. this may be due to:

• our accents;
  
• the thickness of the cashwadz in our japanese wallets, and the subsequent dimwitted drawl or pompous pronunciation that oozes forth from our filthy mouths; or
  
• wEstSidE.

in this thread, we shall discuss the ways in which we pronounce certain words.

people will be ridiculed as much as possible for the shortcomings of their speech.

let the games begin.

first of all....as the song goes.....it is puh-tay-toe, not puh-tar-toe.

you filthy yanks may disagree with me here....but in the rough neck of the woods that i fight in daily, it is tuh-marto, not tuh-may-toe.

if.......is it iff or iv?

FYI - Tomatoes come from our side of the pond, so however the fuck we say it is how it should be said........shit didn't even get to England until the 1600's and god knows how long it was after they started sending them out to all their convicts in Aus-land.

The real question here is what was the question?

[Double D]

I very nearly speak English the way it's supposed to be nowadays.

However, the Bristolian occasionally lurches out of me when I say things like 'forrrk'. I think dragging my r's out is pretty much the main thing.

[cheep]

i make tts into ds... like "budden" insted of "button"

[alterion]

hmm somehow i doubt that the native americans prononced it tuh-may-toe england.

Its very simple, we say tuh-marto you say it incorrectly

We say colour, you can't speel good.

It's still called Queen's english and the Oxford english dictionary for a reason you know.The fact that the UK has far more reagional variation in language and pronunciation than nearly anywhere else is of course immaterial.

The whole reason for westward expansion and annihilation of the native american race was because of mispronunciation.

Americans invented color, plants, and pizza; didn't you know!!?!?!??!?!
