In the same vein, how do you pronounce DRAWING?

Draw- ing (no R sound before the ING)

It's a pendatometer test

Draw ring

Febbery

Grarse (rhymes with arse)

Scon

Wennsdy

DP (scottish) says Wed nes day

Aye urn ing

Must point out that I am posh West cuntry maid

draw ing
i er ning
feb you ary

I never say handbag, it's a purse

Hambag

For ham

See ?

One of my girlfriends says 'sanGwitch' instead of sandwich.

I, too, say droing, if I must. Usually I refer casually to 'the Picasso' or 'the darling little Emin sketch.' I say 'lawn' not 'grass' and need never speak of what the housekeeper does with my clothes. I have no need to mention days of the week or months of the year, that's why one has a PA.

I am tirribly poshe.

Droing - not really 2 syllables, one long one, iyswim.

Am not posh.

WanderingTrolley - I am surprised you haven't fainted dead away at BoysAreLikeDogs' use of handbag. HANDBAG!!

Aren't all these pronunciations to do with accent rather than pedantry?

Draw-ing, no R for me
PSML at hambag - lets hope it a Mn approved "nice ham"bag.
I say hand bag, in a very lady bracknell ish way, enunciating the D.

People with an english accent often add an 'r' that does not exist if one vowel follows another.

eg 'the cinemar is closed'

Draw-ing and Weddnsday.

What about drawer? Most people pronounce it draw.

And you know the one that really gets me? When a name ends in a vowel and is followed in a sentence by "and". On Peppa Pig, the narrator keeps saying Peppa-r'n-George.

pointydog, xposts

My MIL says sangwiches.
