pronuciation

[**towery**]

having a discussion here about how to say a few words and why an 'r' seems to have snuck into

the way  castle and glasgow are pronounced by tv people

the CWG had me annoyed by all the bbc people

so  how do YOU  say castle?

I hate news reporters who say nucular instead of nuclear.

Wolfhardisworthy is pronouced Woolsery here. Ha ha way too long for us locals to say. I say scoane being a Devonshire lass and OH says scon he is from the Midlands. My grandfather was called Menzies and that is how its pronounced not mingis.

Southwell- Suthall

[ed_blackadder_1]

Also Launceston in cornwall is pronouced locally as Lanson.

What I hate is when people say or write ",,,,, should OF ..." or "..... would OF..."  when it should, of course, be HAVE.

I do sometimes wonder if they have had a hearing problem in their formative years or bad teachers / parents who have not done enough to correct them.

I say castle and bath.

I say bath and castle. But then I'm from the Midlands, where we all wear what in Knightsbridge might be known as "flart carps"

[saasher2012]

I say Barth & Carstle but I don't pronounce the R, odd occasions I have been known to say Barf for Bath , my mothers southern accent coming out! lol.

i think the concensus was that the way that most people say it is wrong and you are supposed to say it as if  a long hot poker in inserted somewhere painful the minute you start to say the H

Here in norfolk we have loads of place names pronounced  wrong..like postwick possick but i say carstle and barth .i use to work with a guy who wore boats on his feet instead of boots and used a teaspoan instead of tea spoon there was also a moan in the sky instead of moon

I know everyone has different dialects but the one that annoys me the most is a particular Irish dialect, Eamon Holmes must be from that place because he says it and it REALLY annoys me and that's NOY instead of NOW!  

[saasher2012]

I think he's a Belfast boy certainly Northern Irish, the Southern Irish have a lovely soft accent, the NI accent often I think sounds aggressive , but the people who speak it are far from it normally!. lol.

[ilove2patch]

I think regional accents & mispronunciation are two different things though. For example saying nuthink for nothing isn't regional it's just pronounced wrongly.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Yes but this whole thread is a mixture of the two.  Baath is a dialect more than mispronounciation isn't it, but of course the aitch v haitch thing isn't nor free instead of three.  That's common in this area, fink and forough.  I was once complimented by my old next door neighbour because both my children called her Mrs Herring (as was her name) but locals called her Mrs Herrin.

I just wish I could get my youngest granddaughter to say reMember instead of reNember!!  

[ilove2patch]

I love the way children mix up words. Amy had Mermerlade for Mermaid, Nasal for Snail & Lemon & Melon were always the wrong way around!

[chickengrandma-2008]

I like the mermerlade!  

One of my cousins didn't like vegebatles and my nephew got dried with a talow!
