To say it's NOT pronounced like this?

[DaanSaaf]

Cutlery.

Cut-le-ree
Not cuttle-ree

Sets my teeth on edge. What pronunciations annoy you?

I was taught to say J to rhyme with I by my teachers at a good primary school in Edinburgh in the mid 80s

Now in Lanarkshire.

Titilated, I also have no idea how to say chipotle. I'd quite like to try chipotle sauce in Subway but I can't because I don't know how to say it. 😂

Ooh I love these threads. I always sit here trying to figure out how other people must sound. Fascinating!! So we’re North Yorkshire and we have:
Wensdee
Feb-you-ree
Lie-bree
Most of my husbands family say jags not jabs
Cut-le-ree

However my husband weirdly pronounces plaster as plarster. It’s the only long vowel he gives anything, the rest are short vowels (ie glass not glarse.....)

Scone is contentious. I say scone but my husband reckons that a proper Yorkshire woman would pronounce it scon. Not sure how I get to be mor Yorkshire when I’ve never left the place but you know....

Ooh I tell you what my husband always picks up on (which I’ve picked up from my mum) is that I say saw (as in “I saw Edna at the shops yesterday!”) as if it has more of an O rather than an A. So it isn’t pronounced “sore” but more towards sow (as in ow that hurt!) but still with a slight hint of the A in there. Dialect is a funny thing!!

Vintage, thank you. I will be asking for Chippotay sauce on my next sub. Let's hope there are not regional variations on how to say it. I need the London/South East version. 😀

I believe it is pronounced chip-oat-lay ?

FEB-REE boils my piss too. It's FEB-YOO-ERRY.

No. It is Feb-roo-arry.

yetalkshitehen n scabbybabby- am scottish. I dont object to jie. but pronounce it jay. ..@awlookit... NOT Pry-mark???? Prymaddonna? pry-eest? ...

@YeTalkShiteHen really??? Ha! Sorry Maybe it's just where I grew up, then, that j-eye was a bit common non-standard

noparticularpattern do your in-laws say, for example
'have you had your flu jag?'

‘A Belgium’ when the person means ‘a Belgian’ - surprisingly common error.

starzig

definitely

The other Scottish one which gives me the rage is sanGwich. There’s no bloody G in it.

That's even worse as the proper Scots word for it is “piece”.

That's even worse as the proper Scots word for it is “piece”

Yep.

Quinoa - I’m still not sure how to pronounce this. I read the kee nwah version was created as a big piss take and Kee Noah or Kwi Noah just sound wrong to me. Anyone?

Thee-etta instead of thee-a-ter. Triple grrr*

For theer-tuh? Mad, just mad!

And what's with this foreign stuff. How should we Brits be pronouncing chateau and paté?

Only when MIL pronounces my daughter's name eve-Lyn instead of ever-Lyn. I'm aware both pronunciations exist but she's her grandmother and DD is 3.5 so you'd think she'd know how to pronounce her name correctly by now

Someone upthread said they hated Preeeemark but that's what the shop used to be called. It's what was on the TV ads when I was a child. I know they announced last year that its Pr-eye-mark but if you've been used to saying Pree-mark for 40 something years it's kind of stuck there.

My partner says ex-a-ray instead of X-ray. Pisses me off no matter how much I correct him.

Bangin

Bockle annoys me, I'm in the East Lancs area.

Ps I’ve heard hospickle and bockle in East Mids.

Bold instead of bald too.

Midlands thing apparently (I'm NW)

Piece = sandwich in Glasgow (and any other part of Scotland that wants to claim it)

YY YouOKHun I even seen "We sell Belgium beer"!

People who say J to rhyme with pie most likely also say “therty” for the number after twenty-nine. Very Glaswegian that one.
