To be irrationally annoyed by 'Breggsit'

[MissAlabamaWhitman]

Because it's Brexit and actually there are no G's in the whole entirety of the word?

It doesn't even appear to be a north/south pronunciation issue but entirely random.

What induces people to pronounce it in such a strange way (and get away with it)?

See also 'Eggsit' from whence I suspect it came.

It's awful isn't it?

Yanbu. I'm not paggsillin, either.

Sec ret tee OK? That's what s pp was say ing was wrong

Argh sec ret tree

Ecksit doesn't sound right to me tho. Eggzit maybe. Yikes I am now a dartboard lol.

Spellings get me more annoyed though. I loose the plot then my skirt is lose when I loose weight kind of thing.

Click on the loudspeaker for a plummy pronunciation

I often hear interesting pronunciations of library and bibliography.

About 'research':

In British English, I've noticed that a word can have different emphasis depending on if it is being used as a noun or a verb, as Addley says.

In American English, they don't always have the same distinction, and just pronounce both words the same way.

paxillin,

Where I live it is Lybry, bibliography is too big a word at the minute, but bybliOgraphy is the way I say it.

Li-Bairy and Bibbel-Ography are my favourites .

Correct pronounciation of secretary is sec-re-terry..

"Correct pronounciation of secretary is sec-re-terry.."

No, there is no one correct pronunciation as it depends on your accent.

I hate Breggsit, it's definitely Breksit. I also hate nevew for nephew and conshumer instead of consumer (that twat Dominic Littlewood)

I do not believe there is a Terry in it

Tony Blair's smarmy pronunciation and his extraneous fucking blinking makes me rageful angry

Re: the blinking - see also Hugh Grant. His entire acting consists of rapid blinking. Hate it.

Also, the way Gordon Ramsay pronounces 'restaurant'. REST-rnt.

GAAAAAH.

Eggsit and Breggsit are US-led pronunciations. Sec-ret-terry, lye-brerry for me.

It's not US pronunciation in the part of the US I live in.
