You know how some people pronounce luxury with a G?

[Dumbledoresgirl]

As in "lug-shur-y" -

Is there a reason for pronouncing it this way?

(stupid phone)

I should probably tell him it's wrong, diplomatically. It could be embarrassing for him at some point.

Apparently, sangwich is even more specific - Scottish catholic. I was at a talk once and a linguist explained the origin. I can't remember the explanation, though, but it rang true. It is only my catholic friends that pronounce it with a g.

oh god i say lugsury fuck and sangwich in fact i over pronounce my g's in words they are supposed to be in

reading
minging
singing

im scottish .. if that excuses me?

my nan's definitely not catholic and she says sangwich

i aint catholic my nan on my dads side is tho but she's a drunk so i dont understand much of what she says other than dont touch my vodka who moved my vodka use are all bastards

Someone who said absol-yutely would also probably say lug-shury.

They wouldn't say sangwich, but they probably would say sand-widge (note deliberate and careful pronunciation of the "d")

Anyone else on this thread reminded of the family in the TV series Absolutely btw? I tried and failed to find it on Youtube. I'm sure the father committed all these crimes against pronunciation.

The very one! You can get it on [http://www.channel4.com/programmes/absolutely/4od 4oD]] but I couldn't find a video of just the clip (or should that be vi-day-oh as the good townspeople of Stoneybridge would say).
