 Except "ax" was the excepted pronunciation in Chaucer's time , and is still accepted in many pidgin speaking cultures . Like critter instead of creature , critter was probably the way it was pronounced in England until the 1800's .

DiS-SECTION

And yes, AKS was a common, old British pronunciation carried to the new world by British house servants and thereafter taught to the new, non-volunteer, non-English speaking servants.

 So is it Arkansas or Ar Kansas ? Depends on where you are doesn't it ? If you are in Kansas and ask where Arkansas City is that question will be met with a blank stare . Ar Kansas City is a small town in SE Kansas spelled Arkansas City . If you are in NE Oklahoma and ask where Miamee is we will say Florida , be cause we pronounce it the correct way , which is of course Miamuh .

Better fix the spelling on the topic header...might help with the proper pronunciation!

Another vote for Nu-Ku-Lar...especially when the majority of the Presidents of the USA fail to pronounce it properly!

Re-La-tor...who sells Real Estate...
Libarian...hard to find a good book in A Libary!

Febuary...an imaginary month!

[giusto]

Dusty...Norm Crosby made a career out of them....Crosbyisms. ..actually called malapropisms...whic h is a bit different....the use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound....."Texas has a lot of electrical votes" and "lavatories of innovation"

leads one to think of Yogi

"you can observe a lot by just watching"

"it's like deja vu all over again"

"The future ain't what it used to be"

everyone has a favorite Yogiism.

In my high school auto shop, a kid at the tool crib window asked for a "pin-ball hammer".

 

"Uh, you mean ball-peen hammer?"
Yup.

French benefits instead of fringe benefits...although in some perfect world French might be fringe!

 Dusty

I suppose you meant accepted rather than excepted...or is that axing too much to assume that??

I do not know your history or how much you have practiced speaking the English language, but you type it just fine!

Guzzi

After 35+ years of saying Guzzi, I don't ever see me changing to Guttzi (pronounce ??) as in making the Z a T.

Just my 2 cents,
Tom

[Triple Jim]

I don't understand the resistance to pronouncing Guzzi as Goot-zee, when no one has any problem pronouncing pizza at peet-za.  It's the same thing!

[Huzo]

I had trouble pronouncing mispronounciation, until I changed the spelling to mispronunciation.

[Tom H]

You do have a valid point there. I do say pizza as you put it "peet-za"

Tom

I'm still gonna say Guzzi!! LOL

an incidental note:

"jewelery" is the place that makes the stuff you put on your wrist or around your neck whereas jewelry is the stuff itself.

Gees, you just explained why I never felt I was spelling that word correctly.

Thank you!

Wouldn't that be "jewellery" given that the singular is "jewell"?
You really do need the two l's.

I feel a song coming on.
How about that classic we learned at the spoonerisms school for pismronunciation.
I'm not a Pheasant Plucker...
I'm a Pheasant Plucker's Son...
OR...

Oh, never mind...

Parsley is a herb. Herbert is known to his friends as “Herb”. In the UK We sound the “H”in both. Do you drop it in both in the USA?
