I guess it's a variation on scone vs scone.
My daughter started viola lessons recently and it's caused somewhat of a debate in our house. I was always led to believe it was pronounced veye-ola like violin (veye-olin) but my OH pronounces it Vee-ola and says I'm wrong. I've never heard of the violin pronounced vee-olin so why would viola be pronounced like this?
It makes my blood boil (I know this bit is unreasonable as it's related to my dislike of his fake plums-in-mouth mother and her poshifying words in an attempt to sounds brighter than everyone else)
He also calls breakfast brake-fast instead of brek-fast which is totally unreasonably like nails on a blackboard to me.
It's pronounced V-eye-ola, isn't it? AIBU?
