Sure - I bet he'd like that comparison. ;)

When I was at school,it was pronounced shed-ule,I would have got a slap from my english teacher if it was pronounced sked-ule ...... :D

My friends in Australia pronounce schedule as shed-ule, and resume as resh-youmay. It always made me laugh.

We were in Australia at the same time as our friends, and the wife's name is Bona. Our Australian friend's wife kept pronouncing it Boner..... hilarious...

China- Chiner, please explain.

I had a teacher that said pubertree instead of puberty. Sorta creeped me out.

Warshington

Oh, and tourists that can't pronounce local stuff (I know, it's not their fault).

Our town's native (mostly Tlinget & Haida) community has left us with some interesting words/ phrases & place names, and it really befuddles the tourists & newcomers.

My Latin teacher in junior high school frequently made references to DC residents saying "Warshington", which weirded me out a bit, since I've lived there my whole life and never heard it.

One would think that a town pronounce "Gloster" would be spelled that way right?

Not...

Gloucester

Ok so how do you all say Worcestershire sauce?

My dad says it wrong on purpose. He calls it woosh-de-shire sauce (he also pronounces soy sauce as sooey sauce). He knows it's incorrect, but in some warped way he thinks its funny.

I've always wondered if it was pronounced Wohr-chester-shire sauce.

Woostershire, like a dog woof.

I do that, I mispronouce on purpose because in some warped way I think it's funny. Is that bad? I can't tell.

Nope it's an age thing,your humour gland is evolving, into "Dad Humour"
Perfectly normal....... :D

Oh my god - you mean my dad has actually been saying it right all this time??

No. Woos-ter-shear not woosh-de-shire. ;)

Ah. There we have it.

I am going to sound so damn smart at Thanksgiving!!!
