Bit more borderline, that one, but I find people emphasising a ‘cha’ sound at the end is grating. They say ama-CHUH when it’s surely ama-tuh.
ah yeah im with you
No, Masterchef UK mostly.
Interesting – I’ve not noticed it. Although John pronounces everything like an Australian, and Gregg pronounces everything like a GEEZAAAHHH.
Surely amateur is ‘a-ma-ture’. Isn’t it?
Consider replying to more people.
I’m scared shitless I’ll notice this one everywhere now
Well I would say it like the French, so it would be more ‘ama-terr’. As long as you miss out the ‘ch’ sound I’ll accept but making the end sound like ‘your’ is still a bit HRUMPH for me.
Like how no one’s questioned ‘schedule’ but it’s really rare I hear anyone say it properly with a soft ‘shh-’ start.
Nearly everyone gets it wrong so I can’t be bothered to let it get to me.
I think that one is almost a lost cause. Most people seem to think sked-ule is correct now.
Damn those Americans!
bruschetta, because whichever way you say it some holier than thou cunt will tell you it’s the other way, and then look really smug. And then you tell them to shove their boring tomatoes on toast up their arsch/arsk.
Obviously broo - sketta
shked
yeah and obviously the opposite.
Now take your tomatoes on toast and…
seriously why do people eat that crap?!
Always enjoyed deliberately mispronouncing names of wine, dunno why.
Can I have a bottle of woon please?
Love saying Rioja as Ri-hoo-ha.
Tokyo Sexwale
Segue Szechuan
