Pronounced JICKS in my head.

Jicks looks like a slur, so much so that I feel the need to apologise for it

as a foreigner, I've TONS. I remember struggling when I was younger, especially with schedule; why the fuck is it skedge-wool?

Wednesday, Colonel (there's no R anywhere, where did it come from?), island, depth and debt, receipt, and annoyingly QUINOA!

 

[disneyteletubby]

This thread's fun

My most recent 'oh I didn't know it was pronounced like that' was 'epitome' (I said 'ep-ih-TOE-m' but it's 'ep-ih-toe-ME' as my friend kindly pointed out after I read something)

Also when I was around 10, I thought 'gateaux' was 'gate-two'

 

[Joseph]

I’m from the Southern US, I mispronounce pretty much ALL words

I think the guys here will tell you it’s definitely NOT pronounced skedge-wool

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The Americans are absolutely correct about lieutenant though

 

[Joseph]

I pronounce it skedge-ule

 

[Pipo]

I pronounce it skedge-ule

I mean, it should be chédool, and it should be wed-nes-day, but what do I know.

 

[Generic Account]

Apparently I pronounce evening (as in PM) with three syllables but it's a recent discovery and I still think it sounds better.

And I drop the t in Saturday but don't for anything else.

And Chalamet is Chamalet in my head.

 

[Joseph]

So Eve-Uh-Ning?

Even-ing

As in when something is evened

 

[Joseph]

Even-ing

As in when something is evened

That’s how I say it as well

 

[Tisch]

Sked-ule and Shhed-ule have different meanings. Ones the noun and ones the verb.

Practise it at home!
