In the same vein, how do you pronounce DRAWING?

[castille]

Draw- ring

or

Draw- ing (no R sound before the ING)

It's a pendatometer test

[castille]

Wensday.

I am doubtless wrong, but too old to change that one now. Much Esteemed Great Aunt probably said Weddensday.

[MrsBadger]

wensday
feb'ry (sooo lazy)

[MascaraOHara]

I have a funny accent slight midlands crossed with london.. I vary between

Wensdee
wensday
and sometimes
wed-nes-day

depending on how fast,carelessly,drunkenly I'm talking

[WendyWeber]

Dror-ing
Wensday
Feb-u-ary (3 syllables, even if the middle r is missing)

[CountessDracula]

I say feb-yoo-ree

prob entirely wrong!

[WendyWeber]

4 syllables, even, lol!

[JaneHH]

draw-ing
Wensday
grarse
Feb-ruh-ree (in my mind, anyway, but it probably comes out as febry...)

[Tigerschick]

It really depends on who I'm talking to and how much care I'm taking.
If I'm talking properly - ie not being lazy - then I say:
draw-ing
Feb-ru-ary
Wedns-day
If I am being lazy, however, the results can be very different. Like MascaraOHara, I have a mixed accent due to having a Southern mother, a Northern father, being born in Birmingham and having lived pretty much everywhere!

How do you say 'handbag'?
Most people, without realising it, say 'hambag'. Go on, try it, and try not to sound like Lady Bracknell.

[MascaraOHara]

hand-bag for me

[QueenTaLcY]

hambag

[Pavlovthecat]

I do say drawring, but its because I have a problem with the way I say my ws and rs! Nothing serious I dont sound daft but it makes certain words a little difficult, like this one.

Its not as harsh as draw-ring, buts definitely got the r there. Not a choice of saying it that way tho!

[Pavlovthecat]

grarss, parth, barth, larf (although it has morphed in laff more recently).

[Poledra]

How about 'ironing'? I say i-or-ning, for some unknowable reason!

[Pavlovthecat]

'ining' Thats bad isn't it?

[Tigerschick]

i-er-ning

[casbie]

draw- ing

feb -u- ary (no wonder is pelt it wrong for so many years!)

eye-ning

[Flame]

I have heard others mention this ironing thing in the past..

I myself have no cause to say it

[MehgaLegs]

droing

[cheesesarnie]

draw ring

[casbie]

i laugh at my hubby for saying plar-stic!

[cyteen]

ay-uh-ning

[Iklboo]

Draw-ring
Wensday
Grass
Laff
Bath
Castle
Eether (but ny-ther)
Scone (rhyme with bone)

(Bolton accented mate says 'dro-ing')

[Swedes]

draw ing

(DD 2.6 says drawn ing)

[Catzenobia]

Just to put a spanner in the works, the correct pronunciation is 'droin' if you are talking about a drawing room!
