Why do people pronounce turmeric as tewmeric?

[CompanyOfThieves]

It's got an 'r' in it. It's tur-mur-ic.

So annoying.

a GP corrected me to IbUprofen

emphasis on U
whereas i still call it IbuprOfen

although when i first started using it i hadnt seen a tv cookery programmes

... And still is, though more common in other countries, now

You're all doing English wrong. This is how you should all be talking and spelling.

He bare hym vp,
he bare hym down,
He bare hym in to an orchard brown.
Lully, lulley, lully, lulley!
Þe fawcon hath born my mak away.
In þat orchard þer was an hall,
Þat was hangid with purpill & pall;
Lully, lulley, lully, lulley!
Þe fawcon hath born my mak away.
And in þat hall þer was a bede,
Hit was hangid with gold so rede;
Lully, lulley, lully, lulley!
Þe fawcon hath born my mak away.
And yn þat bed þer lythe a knyght,
His wowndis bledyng day & nyght;
Lully, lulley, lully, lulley!
Þe fawcon hath born my mak away.
By þat bedis side þer kneleth a may
& she wepeth both nyght & day;
Lully, lulley, lully, lulley!
Þe fawcon hath born my mak away.
& by þat beddis side þer stondith a ston,
“Corpus Christi” wretyn þer-on.
Lully, lulley, lully, lulley!
Þe fawcon hath born my mak away.

Exactly. Lots of people say summink for something, it's a dialect/regional, but it's not correct.

Neither have I! SE here.

Fair enough. I'll let her off for that one then. Come-in for cumin though?!

There needs to be a support group for cases this severe. Language Manglers Anonymous. Only god knows how they'd pronounce it

Wait until you find out about cinema.

Well, if that all knowing genius that thinks for itself and knows everything says this, it must be true.

Haitch is the mispronouncuation here.

I’ve always called it tew-metic. That must be how I originally heard it pronounced.

I know it’s spelled tur-meric but it would feel really clunky and an effort for me to
consciously change how I say it.

I can’t think why it’s ’so annoying’. Some people say baaath and some people say barth, despite there being no r in the word. Life’s rich tapestry, innit.

Brufen is a brand name for ibuprofen. Like Anadin for aspirin.

It does in the online version.

I’ve been pacificly 😀wondering about this since the last mineleium 😀, I’ll skedule 😀 in some time to give it further thought.

I can’t think why it’s ’so annoying’. Some people say baaath and some people say barth, despite there being no r in the word.
Nobody is putting an r in it. Some people say bath with a short a. Some say it with a long a, better represented as bahth. Your examples of baaaaath and barth are the same thing, both a long a.

Chew-ma-rick, here.
And… Yo-gert.

Baaaath because I’m Irish, long vowels.
Gave my English mates a laugh back in my London days.

My accent, hope that helps you

But, also they would take the R out of my name & stick it on the end. I hear this on UK news channels all the time…

I can’t imagine an accent in which candour rhymes with panda. And I live in southern England

Not equivalent. Fing vs thing is a phonetic feature of an accent whereas haitch vs aitch is a lexical difference between dialects. Haitch and aitch are basically different words used to describe the letter h.

It's well known as a shibboleth in NI to determine religion/political leaning.

I met a panda called Amanda and I said to her, with candour, that's a great electric sander which was quite the odd meander.

All of those rhyme to me.

I hear an r in some English people's pronunciation of bath. I also hear a second r in drawing and other words. In my accent there is no r in bath and only one r in drawing.
