tamthebam Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 A septic once confused a Lothian bus driver by asking him if his bus went to Dalkett. Dalkeith isn't that hard surely. Unless they think, for example, the Stones band member is called Kett Richards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Foot Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 12 hours ago, DA Baracus said: Why can't they pronounce these words? To hear them mangle the pronunciation elicits a range of emotions, none positive. - Herbs - Lager - Twat - Graham/Graeme - Aluminium - Craig - Oregano I'm sure there are loads more. Note that I mean the same words, not the equivalent, like 'sidewalk' etc. To be completely fair to the Americans, ‘aluminum’ was apparently the original spelling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this has been explained to myself. I think, when it was invented, there was 2 pronunciations on the go. Uk & USA went different ways. I don't see the fuss for Yank language v Scots. We have it in our country. Yesterday Cibby, was mentioned for Kerb. That's just a few miles apart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Reminds me of a game at Glebe Park when they had an American reading out the half-time scores for some reason. It was torturous and hilarious in equal measures. Towards the end of his efforts he drawled to the supporters "Jeez folks, give a guy a break" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
