Schedule - pronounciation?

[NaughtyNigel]

i can't spell pronounciation either!
So is it SH edule? or SK edule?

I don't think it matters.

I say SHedule
but I know lots of people who say SKedule.

I think it's a bit like scone: scown/sconn

actually, I think I say SKedule.

I can't remember now, am trying to say it to myself but I'm saying both...

SH is british
SK is american

pronunciation

Oh I've nearly started this one on many an occasion! In Britain we say SHedule but most reporters don't seem to know that. I spend a lot of time shouting at the television. (Well it keeps me happy...)

of course I was right the first time

I say SHedule.

Nice to know that SKedule is American, and SHedule is British.

SHedule it is. and unSHeduled too.

And Scon. never scown.

ooh, shouting at the tv - a fave of mine

Sh here

shediul

I say both

I use the word almost constantly in my line of work.. I find it breaks the monotony

SHedule in UK, Skedule in US. Typically, at least (after my contribution to the "anymore/any more" thread).

btw, scone (pronounced sconn) is the small cake-like snack served with any or all of butter, jam and cream.

BUT, there is also Scone (pron scoon) which is a town in Scotland, site of a palace and former coronation site of the Kings of Scotland e.g. The Stone of Scone (aka the Stone of Destiny)...just to confuse matters.

Shedule is UK pronunciation
Skedule is US pronunciation

I've been saying skedule for years - oh dear

Ditto WW - it's skedule!

God, I don't think I've ever heard 'shedule' - always skedule in my neck of the woods.

I say scHedule but then I have issues with school, which, judging by that, should surely be shool? Therefore, sKedule makes sense.

Oh I know, English doesn't work like that...!

And scheme is skeme, not sheme!

shedule/scown

SKEDULE. And I'm British through and through.

shedule here. Skedule does sound very American. Which probably means we'll all be saying it in about ten years.

When the Chinese take over as most powerful nation, do you think the Yanks will lose their sway over the English language, and we can just get on with it, like the Dutch do? AFAIK (not that I do, really) Afrikaans doesn't really influence Netherlands Dutch.
