Re: Pronunciation Poll
My favorite is "Gyro":
ji-ro or eur-o Most Americans say "ji-ro" but the correct pronuciation is "eur-o". Go to any mediteranian country where gyros are eaten everywhere and ask for a "ji-ro" and they're gonna have no idea what you're talking about. |

Re: Pronunciation Poll
I'm the only one so far who pronounces the H in Herb?
Maybe it's a British thing. |

Re: Pronunciation Poll
That's because only pure idiots say "ji-ro".
I sometimes get a kick out of pronouncing fajitas with the hard j so as to sound somewhat like a female body part. Waitresses appreciate it. |

Re: Pronunciation Poll
On the herb one, the h is definitely there. I don't have the lingo to make this academic, but the h isn't totally silent, it just isn't heavily aspirated or something, but it does have an effect on how you pronounce the word.

APATHETIC You may choose only one A-Pathetic Ah-Pathetic Other [/ QUOTE ] To clarify... A-Pathetic = A (as in saying the letter A) and Pathetic Ah-Pathetic = Ah (as in say ah by the doctor) and Pathetic Reason I ask is a word like ASEPTIC is never (at least by me) pronounced Ah-Septic, but always A-Septic. -RMJ |

A-(as in the letter A)pathetic is...well, pathetic. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] but i also don't say Ah-(like the doctor)pathetic. i say it like i pronounce the A in apple. |
