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?

@dawnacorn they do indeed! They also say they’ve given all the milkers and the beasts a jag when they’ve vaccinated the cows!!

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

Well, I’m going to get technical here. A sandwich is a butty. It’s only usually a piece if it’s cold, like a jeelie piece.

One of DDs friends says “fourty”

I'm fae Fife & I say therty... my bairns think I'm going mad traipsing around the house randomly saying jai/jay & going 28,29, therty, aye I say therty no thirty

But then I work at the opposite end of Fife from where I live & my colleagues sometimes have to ask me to explain words to them so even in a smallish area the language used is different.

How else can you say "Therty?" 😥
Have I been saying it wrong my whole life?!

WOAH @stoneofdestiny my nana (from north Yorkshire) used to call a sandwich 'a piece.' That's taken me back a few years.

Well actually, I say "ferty" 😂😂😂😂

A Cutler is
"one who makes, deals in, or repairs cutlery"

So pronunciation surely must be cutler-y

Can't mispronounce THIRTY really can ya? Unless you say FIRTY!

here a jeely piece is a piece on jam

A piece on jam?

Ooh I've been waiting for one of these threads to come up again.

'Texties' instead of 'texts'. And I 'texed' him, rather than 'texted'.

Stop it!

blackforest-yes ..a sanggggwitch.mingpot. could blaw ma lid at "piece"..especially "piece oan..."..no no no,lookit-the sausage is on the bread...."greeaze. no wee call it sesame oil-feckin greeeeeeeeze..oaxter..pure boak at that so a dae

Hate it when people say garridge instead of garage.
Also the letter H is aitch not haitch. Look it up in the dictionary. There's no such word as haitch ffs.

Yes @buscaution it's a piece on jam/ham/cheese/tuna/ toast is the same unless it's beans then it's beans on toast

Tescos. No, it's just Tesco unless you are actually going to more than one of them. 🤬

*Stone of Destiny

Yes - jags not jabs.
Slidey not slippery
and Bawbag instead of Trump*

Sorry, couldn't let this go

Tolerable why wid ye pit sausage oan a piece surely ye'd pit that oan a roll?

Glad you mentioned the Primark pronunciation from further up treaclesoda. I'm in the Preemark camp. I had a Saturday job in the Bank Buildings (😢) in the eighties - long before Primark became such a huge presence on the UK high street - and we all said Preemark. We'd have thought people were being pretentious arseholes pronouncing it Pr-eye-mark. So, while I appreciate things move on, I reserve the right to be a cranky old fart and tell everybody, including the owners, that they're all WRONG!!

I don't get the problem with primark. Even autocorrect calls it primary. Prime. Where does anyone get Preem

Yes @buscaution it's a piece on jam/ham/cheese/tuna/ toast is the same unless it's beans then it's beans on toa

It was the 'piece on' I was questioning, not the content.

A piece on? Surely it would be a piece with? Or a 'filling' piece just as you would say a ham sandwich. You wouldn't t say a sandwich on ham

I work in a library and some of the kids say libary. 😫

@Dementedswan I'm from Northumberland and say cut-ler-ee!

I often hear a piece n jam to describe the good old jeely piece, with the n being shortened from and. A sandwich and fillingz. Not a sandwich on filling

You wouldn't say a sandwich on ham no but it's always been a piece on ham no idea why or where it comes from it's just always been so
