Is anyone else being reminded of that old thread about the hamwidge? GrinGrinGrin

TheNemesisOfLame · 15/07/2022 06:35

Samwidge
Sarnie
San-dwitch

And sometimes sond weech (in a terrible fake French accent)

MadisonAvenue · 15/07/2022 06:37

San-witch.

SuperdrugKeysDemon · 15/07/2022 06:38

San-widge. Probably sounds like samwidge if I say it quickly.

Sand-witches for plural!

(Accent from Cumbria)

why don’t you need a picnic at the seaside?
because of the sand which is already there.

otherwise samwidge.

Louise0701 · 15/07/2022 08:19

San-widge

A good friend of mine says "Sammidge", which, if said by anyone else, would drive me bananas. But I love her to bits and it's adorable when she does it.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 15/07/2022 08:23

SAND-wich. Unless it is ham in which case "hang sanger".

What is the point of sending children to school and teaching them to read if you don't expect them to be able to see the letter t and pronounce it correctly, or the letter d, or n etc.etc. etc. ? The word is sandwich, pronounced sandwich. Abandon every form of education. Send them to sort plastic waste and sweep chimneys from ages 4 to 10.

Letussee · 15/07/2022 08:25

Sand-widge.

InTheShadeOfTheFigTree · 15/07/2022 08:28

BanjoVio · 15/07/2022 08:28

SaMwidge?!? With an ‘M’? Have people lost their minds?? 😭

BaronessEllarawrosaurus · 15/07/2022 08:33

But tee and yes I do pronounce both ts. And that's me making a bacon butty when I get back from the school run

Schmz · 15/07/2022 08:35

People in sandwich Kent
say
saaaaaanwidge
🤣

NiqueNique · 15/07/2022 08:38

As it’s spelt, with the ‘d’.

WaffleAndGelato · 15/07/2022 08:39

DH says sand-witch with a definite t sound that's all the more odd because he's a Londoner and drops all his t's. And also adds a k to the end of words that end with ing I.e. summink instead of something, but that's a whole other story. I say sam-widge.

MajorCarolDanvers · 15/07/2022 08:49

San-witch or sand-witch

AlwaysLatte · 15/07/2022 08:55

I say Sanwidge with but my husband properly pronounced the D: Sand Witch, which I always tease him about.

CormoranStrike · 15/07/2022 08:56

I’m from Glasgow, so I say sang-wich .

SpaceJamtart · 15/07/2022 08:59

Sam-whiche,
I don't like how that looks written down, but unless I'm putting on my 'talking on the phone' voice, the other letters just dont come out

AppleHa · 15/07/2022 09:03

In my head I say sand wich , but listening to myself I actually say San wich

English speakers need to understand that some letters are silent.
