It’s marshmAllow not marshmEllow

[MardyBra]

I’m looking at you Alison Hammond. FFS.

Talking of language errors, Gregg and John have me shouting at the telly over their use of pronouns and “choritso” for chorizo. All I want is a cooking competition with decent grammar and pronunciation.

Marshmellow is a singer isn't he? And also a Fortnite skin

I say Marshmellow but say Squishmallow, never thought about it before.

It's pronounced marshmellow isn't it? Written as mallow; not that I've ever looked too hard while ripping open the packet.

I was having this debate with someone yesterday. They agreed that it's spelled mallow but just shrugged and said "yeah, but it's mellow".

Same person says poker dot, despite it clearly being "polka".

Make it make sense 🤯!!!

Sorry those references are completely alien to me. feeling ancient

No, you're pronouncing it wrong 🙈

We are encouraging you to think about it now @Ponoka7.

Come join us on the path of everything that is good and right.

Please note the lack of a light-hearted disclaimer by the way. This is important.

@greenhydrangea which dictionaries? (Not trying to catch you out, am interested)

I don't know where you've got your information from but it is definitely not pronounced "mellow" and I can't find anywhere on line that says it is. The audio pronunciation guides are also very clear on this. Marshmallows were originally flavoured with marshmallow root which was thought to have medicinal properties.

This just reminded me of

It's Wingardium LeviOHsa not LevioSAAA

Weird incorrect pronunciations are definitely a pet hate of mine and people saying marshmellow is up there. I didn't watch bake off this eve but to be fair to AH is it her accent, rather than ignorance?

Just checked Howjsay.com

Of course it's Mallow.

Here's one that gives audio.

Not yet you haven't. Only after correcting him 20,000 times consistently and he still does it can you put on your dunce mum cap.
Keep trying.

If you live in the West Midlands you'll hear this frequently (wince). Alison Hammond's mum didn't try hard enough

See, I’m hearing mallow. I’d already been there 😀. Having said that, it’s not terribly well enunciated.

My mum is from the North of England she pronounces it marshmellow, therefore, so did my sister and I as children but I corrected myself as I realised in Ireland everyone else pronounced it how it was spelt.

Incidently my sisters kids now say 'marshmellow' too😆

He’s a final year uni student. I’m a complete failure.

I have two more words to add to the conversation: macaroni cheese.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿You’re welcome! 😂 definitely mallow! Never even heard the mellow version until now!

That was the pearl of wisdom I was going to bring to the party. Hi5!!!

Sucks to be you @MardyBra (down with the kids)

Ah well that does put a different light on it, OP. Yes you have failed...but it probably won't come up in his viva so that nailed on First should be safe

Oh you're not talking about Mac'nCheese are you? That definitely is an abomination too far.

I think both mallow / mellow are okay, once you don’t spell it wrong!
