How do you pronounce superlative?

[SarkyWench]

I think that ds1 has been taught this incorrectly.

1. super-LAY-tiv (to rhyme with "super native") or
2. soo-PER-li-tiv

3b1g -

Until I was about 25, I thought that banal was pronounced in a way that rhymed with anal.

Until I was about 18 I thought there was a word mizzled which meant being duped into thinking something erroneous.

Er, oh yes. Pretty similar to the meaning of misled then.

Sorry austenozzy but pmsl at 'bru-sk-etta'

I know someone who pronounces banal thus 3b1g!

Also others who've thought that about misled (and ORrey for awry, as above). I think mizzle is fine, misty drizzle is it not?

Chinley: to rhyme with Carl.

Maybe it's you chinley! It's ban-Ahhl, or more like b-nAhhl.

I'm not sure which would be more dispiriting: banal sex or anal sex.

Is that meth-inks?

Did anyone hear Steve Wright pronounce epitome epi-tome not once, but twice this afternoon on radio 2? Surely if you're broadcasting to the nation you should check these things!

There's an awful lot of on this thread..
