Amiable

You know, nice, kind, easy going.

I have always said - Ay mee uh bull

However this morning on some countrysidey tv program, John Craven pronounced it - uh my uh bull

I think he is wrong, but then I always think he talks as if he’s wearing someone else’s teeth!

I've always said Aim-ee-ah-bull? Never heard it pronounced any other way tbh

ZaZathecat · 03/05/2019 10:27

John Craven's weird then!

Fruityfruitcake · 03/05/2019 10:40

Ay-me-ah-bul here too!

Aimee-able.

Bless him. I guess it’s like the way I always say ‘inny-vittabull’ for inevitable Blush

I read it that way in my head as a kid and the bugger just stuck!

ATrumpIsAFart · 03/05/2019 10:56

Aim-ee-ah-bull

I don't say this often but John Craven is absolutely wrong.

I'm questioning years of information gleaned from Newsround now. Feel ruddlerless, really. Was that panda even called Chi Chi?

I trusted you, John!

Amy a bull.

I'll let him off as long as he doesn't say nuculer for nuclear or some such ear-bleeding lunacy!

Janek · 03/05/2019 11:37

Was he thinking of amenable?

marvellousnightforamooncup · 03/05/2019 11:41

It's like my childhood has been a lie. John, why?

Gingernaut · 03/05/2019 11:43

You're right. John Craven is wrong.

Ay-mee-a-bull

x2boys · 03/05/2019 12:11
