about people who pronounce cayenne "kye-ann"

[GrandTheftQuarto]

They should all be shot.

See also: chewmeric, cardamon, and cummin.

Yes I know this is unreasonable. Especially for cummin.

How do you pronounce it then? I have no idea about these things.....

Is this a new kardashian baby? I struggle to keep up with them.

I pronounce it Kay-en is that right?

I think it's pronounced pretty much how it's spelt, isn't it? Kay-enn?

I think people are saying kye-ann by analogy to Cheyenne, the Native American people, which is shy-ann.

I say Kay-ann as in Cayenne pepper.
Whats Chumeric?

It's kind of weird - all my life I've heard people call it cayenne, and suddenly the TV is heaving in people using this weird pronunciation

Kew-Mon?
Tu-ma-Rick.
And cardamom, cardamom.

How can it be 'ann' when it clearly ends in 'enne'? It's Kay-enn.

Turmeric is sometimes mispronounced as Chumeric. I don't know why.

Chewmeric is how people say turmeric when they want it to sound like they're putting tumours in their food

Take a chill pill OP

its the fucjers that say parstar that i want to massacre

get over yourself. I'm sure you pronounce things wrong

Oh no, grinch, I am always perfect in every way.

And the sods who mispronounce baklava grrrrr

aren't we all!

That's an easy one, Glitz - it should be ba-la-KLAR-va, right?

I thought it was pronounced Shy-an. Thats how Cheyenne, wyoming is pronounced.

MacaRONS. Gahhh

chorizo is always a good one too. picks the snobs from the norm. added points for a false accent and hand movement.

Well how are people supposed to know how these things SHOULD be pronounced? If everyone says kye-ann then others just copy- never heard it pronounced any other way to honest!

According to my friend who lives in Cheyenne, its pronounced Shy-ann.

Grandtheft don't! My friends very cockney dad pronounced it just like that I was horrified.

msgrinch sooo true about chorizo!

Macarons is correct though? As in, there are macarons and macaroons.

And it's always been chewmeric until now, what's changed?

But macarons and macaroons are different things (despite what my spellcheck might think)

I HATE the added 'sh' in the middle of words. There was a new CONSUMER ombudsman interviewed on the radio this morning and he kept saying 'conSHumers'. Somebody is going to need to tell him
