To hate that 'wrath' is CONSTANTLY pronounced wrong.

[RocketInMyPocket]

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

It is Ni key though

At the risk of sounding wany, it axiomatically fallacious to say "it must be pronounced this way because this is how a similarly spelt word is pronounced" the English language is full of these variances... compare the pronunciation of
though
bough
trough
thought
Through...

Or the much clearer SconeItsPronouncedScone perhaps?
I might NC to WrathIsPronouncedWrathDuh

I know it is Swedish That was the point.
But I still say it in one syllable though. I'd feel like a twat saying ni-key quite honestly.
My point was that I say nike wrongly, and she (americans in general) say adidas wrongly, and most of us do so knowingly, and not giving a shit.

Adidas is a German company, isn't it? How do they pronounce Adidas in Germany? Genuinely don't know, just wondering.

Right. I said Adi Das and A dee Das depending on whether I'm reverting to type or not.

Roth. I actually said rath the other day by accident whilst reading out loud whilst v v tired. Corrected myself, obviously.

Sea The bloke who founded its name was Adolf Dassler, Adi for short.
So Adi Dassler = Adi-Dass = Adidas

His brother also founded Puma.
Those Dasslers love their sportswear!

I presume Adi Das is "correct " because the founder was Adi Dasler.(sp?) But would love to hear that Germans don't pronounce it like that

I was taught to pronounce scone by Scots when I was a student in Scotland in the days long before scones became a thing in the US. I had never eaten or pronounced one before.

I say Roth, Oxford English Dictionary says
"Words that rhyme with wrath

broth, cloth, froth, Goth, moth, Roth"

They do swedish lol
Interestingly, I have never once seen an adidas or nike advert actually say the brand name. D'ya reckon they do that on purpose? (So as not to prove anyone 'wrong' so to speak)

German man saying Adidas here

Thanks, Rocket. Though that guy is a bit intimidating. I found myself backing away as he moved closer to the camera!

I haven't read all through the thread, Rocket,
but if you wish to correct others' pronunciation perhaps you should sort your own grammar.
The last word in your thread title should be 'wrongly' not 'wrong'.

Pah, sallying It has indeed been noted, and the answer was shhhhh
Old new, that's what happens when you don't read the whole thread tut tut

Who are all these people using the word wrath (pronounced wroth) ?!

I can't remember the last time I heard anyone use it in conversation!?

People filled with vengeance and ire lady

Late to the party, but it's roth for me (originally from Southern England).....although I would say rath of Khan.....

Regarding the US pronunciation of "mirror", what always bugs me - and I'm a huge fan of the US and America generally, don't get me wrong - is the way American commentators refer to an "unforced err" instead of "error" in tennis....Tracey Austin being the prime example!

If you pronounce it "roth", people will think you are saying "wroth", which is a totally different word. (Sir Thomas Malory used "wroth" a lot; Sir so-and-so was "wonderly wroth", which means "really pissed off").

So yes, YABU. "rath"=wrath, "roth"="wroth".

Roth here. Never rath.

I'm in Scotland, and have never heard it pronounced 'roth'. I say 'rath'.

My surname ends in 'wraith' and every time I get an English person on the phone they take the 'i' out of their own accord, and pronounce it 'rath'.

Wroth is an adjective and wrath is a noun so the usage will always be different, there shouldn't be any confusion (and wroth is an obsolete word anyway).

@ Toooldtobearsed It is most definitely roth... but by your logic I wanted to know how you pronounce war and want?
