Hey Americans!

You pronounce aluminium weirdly.

 

You count funny.

We're even.

 

We also dont like to pronounce the 'h' in herb.

 

Ba-dum tish.

 

Ah reminds me of good ole Eddie. Good times.

Also, thread relevant to my interest.

ps they pronounce aluminium differently because they also spell it differently

 

Aluminum.

The European pronunciation is strange and foreign

 

He got you on that one, ijffdrie.

 

But, aluminum sounds so blunt and inelegant.

 

American, one might say.

 

You think that's weird? the British pronunciation of "vitamin" is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

 

It's not quite that bad for me, but it does make me take a double take. Vitamin.

 

I once saw a brit.
Laughed my *** off.

 

You people and your silly pronunciation problems. We just say it how we spell it

 

Which is all well and fine until, as an English speaker, we look at how polish words are spelled.

przeciwsłoneczna.

I don't even KNOW what the l with the cross is.

 

it's sorta like 'w' in 'word' or 'way'

rz is trickier imo, sicne it can be prnounced as a single sound (in this case) or as two letters (as in tarzan)

 

I think the British pronunciation of any word is like nails on a chalkboard

 

Dutch swearing sounds like a brick hitting a pillow. (AKA like something that completely misses the point)

 

I think the joke here is that pillows aren't pointy.

 

nah, that you throw a brick to hit something hardly.

 

I think anyone that doesn't speak American pronounces things funny.

Solution: everyone learn American
