Do you assume or azzume?

[MardyBra]

I've noticed that dd has started azzuming, which I find odd. Trying to work out where she got it from -presumably school (which is fairly posh. Is this a posh thing?)

I'm Swedish but have only heard of 'assume' - never 'azzume'!

[FatalCabbage]

I've encountered assume and ashume but never azzume - and I know lots of vair posh people.

[Onesleeptillwembley]

Never heard azzume. And no, it definitely wouldn't be posh.

[AdoraBell]

I assume.

If I azzumed I couldn't make an ass out u and me

[MardyBra]

OK. Not posh. Just odd.

Thanks.

Sounds more West Country than posh when I say azzume out loud.

Über-RP would be more 'assyume' wouldn't it?

[MardyBra]

Oh yes, the Queen would probably sound like she was sneezing at high pitch or something: "Aaaass - Hume".

I have been heard the word "assume" read as "azzume" by our teacher in history who trained us and told us about Gen. Paulino Santos....

[lagbangmarjun]

Commonly used in starting to fulfill the duty for the first time....
