Guest Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 At risk of taking this off topic, I'm temporarily living in a South African couple (and son)'s house in Cobh, County Cork. Husband and wife pronounce Tanzania opposite differently; husband like myself, TAN-ZAN-EH-A; wife, Tan-ZAIN-AH. That they are from the same town, and lived in Tanzania just adds to the bafflement. Route, Moscow, Glasgow, Edinburgh, tomato my top five culprits for the septics. Two from living in Liverpool, working in Warrington: The Northern Rail lady robot pronouncing belongings with a very pronounced first g. And, everyone in the office pronouncing drawings as DRAW-RINGS. Both totally did my head in. And maybe a north England thing. I deliberately mispronounce Coventry with a u vowel sound rather than an o. Still persist even though I know I'm wrong. But, then, I'm punk rock..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I might take flak for this, but folk pronouncing places incorrectly when they're not from that place is ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, if they’re talking about Glasgow, KY, they pronounce it correctly and not ‘Glasscow’ - it’s about 10 seconds into this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 At the risk of being unpopular, I like that people from different parts of the world pronounce things differently and occasionally use different terms for the same thing. It would be much more boring if everybody spoke the same, and it would make radio dramas very difficult to follow... I also like the way they say "Jaguar" as "JAG-WAR", with the second syllable sounding a bit like a jaguar roar coming to get you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" The guy does/did their media work, often see on the gantry videoing for highlights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Pele Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 A lot of seppos on TikTok have latched onto “mind you” and butcher it. First off they’re emphasising it as “MIND you”, and secondly they use it to mean “remember”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb piece when an Iranian journalist is interviewing an American player, could have been the captain, before the USA v Iran match and the player calls the country Eye-ran. The journalist asks the player why Americans continually disrespect his country by mispronouncing its name. Bit of squirming by the player followed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
