To hate that 'wrath' is CONSTANTLY pronounced wrong.

[RocketInMyPocket]

It's roth, not rath fgs!!!
PS regional shmegional

Tis rath not roth. If it was roth it would be spelt wroth

if I said Roth I would sound like a plank. I've been giggling saying it like that for the last minute lol

Are you Lloyd Grossman?

It's not a word I hear spoken very often. I would probably say it with rath or roth, and googling tells me that the form is the UK English version and the latter the US English version, so I guess I've probably most often heard it said in US tv/films.

I've literally never heard it pronounced roth

Gah - I clearly need to go back to bed.

It's roth that's the UK English version, rath US English.

Well, apparently it's roth in an English accent and rath in an American accent.

If I said roth no one would know what I was saying....

Also for context I have a scottish accent not American

I've heard people say roth and rath so I disagree that it is constantly mispronounced. I, of course, say it correctly. I remember when 'The Wrath of Khan' came out.

'Tis a pesky 'Mericanism, that's what it is.
Am out to educate the masses.
Feel my roth.
etcetera etcetera

Can this turn into a general pronunciation thread? My pet hate is the American "mirr" (for 'mirror'), with the Australian "marone" (for 'maroon') coming a close second.

Of course there are also UK hates of mine, but there's a lot more of you on here than Americans and Aussies, and I don't want to risk the AIBU wrath.

It was definitely promoted as Roth with an American accent.

It's Roth

It's roth.

I say 'roth' First time I seem to have got something right on MN...

YANBU. Always been 'roth' with an 'o' sound.

Oh, I've no probs with Aussies and Americans pronouncing words differently - it's their own accent.

I've heard both so I don't think it's a huge deal really.

In US films, I've heard 'poem' pronounced as 'pome' and the name Tara pronounced Terror. I don't know if it's the accent or if they just said it wrong differently.

It's roth.

It's funny, I say, The Grapes of Wroth but The Wrath of Khan. I think this is because my English teacher pronounced the (US) book the English way but I've only heard the film pronounced the US way.

I say 'roth' and I compLETEly agree with WONAR that the Aussies pronouncing maroon as marone is teeth-grindingly awful!
I shudder when some of them (MIL in particular) pronounces broccoli as broccoleye too. And privet as pivet (there is an R in it you know!)

It's roth. Don't think I've ever heard it as rath.

The one I hate is Craig, pronounced as Cragg, by Americans. No idea why I hate it so much but I do.
