To say it's NOT pronounced like this?

[DaanSaaf]

Cutlery.

Cut-le-ree
Not cuttle-ree

Sets my teeth on edge. What pronunciations annoy you?

[Pusheenicorn]

I've never heard cuttleree before...

The ones that really get me are "matrass" instead of mat-ress...

And JAI instead of JAY for the letter j.

Actually makes me feel sick.

[ScabbyBabby]

Isn’t JAI and JAY pronounced exactly the same?

[YeTalkShiteHen]

JAI instead of JAY is how I say it, it’s how I was taught in school because I’m Scottish.

These threads always descend into slating regional pronunciations, never end well.

[YeTalkShiteHen]

ScabbyBabby JAI to rhyme with Kai.

[ScabbyBabby]

I love the diverse range of accents in the UK so nothing really sets my teeth on edge as such.

But I do prefer words like grass, to be pronounced to rhyme with ass as opposed to arse.

[BitOutOfPractice]

I don't know the difference between the pronunciation of Jay and Jai

[Dementedswan]

Sorry but it's cuttleree in Northumberland

[whiskeysourpuss]

JAI is how I say it - apologies for making you sick PP you might want to avoid Scotland

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Preeeemark

[mybumpismostlypudding]

Whiskeysourpuss jai to rhyme with high? I always get so confused by these threads 😂

[MacosieAsunter]

Cut -lah -ree

Just to be different!

[Duchessgummybuns]

Expurnation instead of explanation. Ugh.

[DubaiismyBlackpool]

A family name is often mis pronounced. Makes me stabby
Jack a leen
Jack lin
Even extended family do this.
If you can't pronounce Jacqueline as in Jackleen, say Jackie.

[AliceLutherNeeMorgan]

“Marshmellow”

Even my own child says it like that. It’s marshmallow fgs!

[Mum2jenny]

Draw instead of draw-er for a drawer in a cabinet

[ScarlettDarling]

Mischiev-ee-ous.
Hate it!

[ScabbyBabby]

So is KAI pronounced more like EYE? Confused. Thank you for trying to explain.

Love the Scottish accent!

[DaanSaaf]

I say marshmellow

[Bacardibabe]

Lets not even go to almond and are- mond then....

[YeTalkShiteHen]

ScabbyBabby aye that’s exactly it! The letter J is called J-eye rather than J-ay in Scotland.

[BanginChoons]

It's cuttleree.

People round here say hospickle and bockle.

[RedDwarves]

If you can't pronounce Jacqueline as in Jackleen, say Jackie.

It's jack-eh-lin in Australia, in the same way that Madeleine is mad-eh-lin, not madleen.

[YeTalkShiteHen]

BanginChoons are you in Lancs?

[SleepingStandingUp]

Drawer?
.so you say please close the draw-er said same as the person who drew my picture is a drawer two syllables?

[tillytrotter1]

When did homage, hom-idge, become home-arge? Pretentious or what!
