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.

[BuzzardBird]

Brus -ket- a is correct btw.

[shadowfax07]

With parmesharn?

[simbacatlivesagain]

**

how do you pronounce that?

[QuinnTwinny]

Theimpossiblegirl - Am I being thick, what was she asking for?! It's driving me insane!

[GrandTheftQuarto]

Ky-enn, I can handle. Ky-ann, out come the rifles.

[simbacatlivesagain]

Ciabatta?

[Fishandjam]

My absolute hate - and I know IABU for getting so riled by it - is pronouncing "chocolatier" as "chock-lat-eer". Like a musketeer for cocoa products. Lindt adverts especially bad for this. I don't know why I loathe it so much, but I really, really do.

[GrandTheftQuarto]

I don't mind the anglicisation of chocolatier. Shocolatteeyay would strike me as just being too much like hard work. What I don't understand is why/how lingerie has become longzheray. I begin to doubt myself - shouldn't it be lanzheree or thereabouts?

[GlitzAndGigglesx]

Croissant. 22yo and still not sure I'm pronouncing it right

[GrandTheftQuarto]

Solve all pronunciation problems and piss off the French at the same time by calling it a cornetto

[Camolips]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say consoomer. I'm sure I say conshumer. Like asshume (assume) and preshume (presume) unless it's more of a zh type sound and I can't hear it properly.

[GrandTheftQuarto]

Consyumer and assyume are going the same way as syoot and syootable. I can't remember what it's called but it's apparently normal for things like tyoob to become toob or choob and consyume to become consoom or conshoom (apologies for horrendous fernettiks).

[Poofus]

I have never heard any of those, Camolips! Asshume, really?

[GrandTheftQuarto]

And duel becomes dooel or jewel.

[GrandTheftQuarto]

I don't know anyone under under the age of about eighty who says syootcase. Presoomably I will sound similarly old-fashioned when I am eighty and everyone reads/mind-vapes the nooz instead of the news

[MoonlightandRoses]

The mis-pronunciation may be due to Porsche - they use Kye-ann when talking about their 4x4, the Cayenne and the car's been around a while now, so might have moved into common parlance that way?

[GrandTheftQuarto]

4x4 Porsche

[Bulbasaur]

You're welcome. :)

[GrandTheftQuarto]

I guess that's following the French pronunciation, since it's a French word, but I'd have split it into ca and yenne, not cay and enne. Fair enough: kay-enn is out, ky-enn is in I'm still going to say kay-enn.

Still not bloody ann on the end, though, is it?

[MoonlightandRoses]

Yup - and they are pig-ugly too

[DandyHighwayman]

how to prn bleach

In fact the whole series is tres amusant

[GoddessWhoWalksEarthAsWoman]

Y y msgrinch I heard a colleague going "cher-eee-th-aw" the other day. V ridiculous.

[SwedishEdith]

I was randomly picked on tonight because of the way I pronounce coin. I've just realised it's remarkably like cayenne.

[GrandTheftQuarto]

at not realising it was a comedy video
