Re: The Pronunciations Thread!

I guess I'm just a day person. Day-ta and satur-day. (Actually, I'm not. Happy

)

But then again, I use the dee in dee-tails. Hmm.

Sometimes, I wear my jer-zees because, well, why not?

And don't be so sub-tile becuase I say it really awkwardly...
________________________________________________

And now to add on to the list...

1) I dunno why, but I say the name Austin with an accent on the 'a'. Like a British accent. That seems to be the only word, though.

2) Dang I just forgot it...

by **xStarr_x3** Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:17 am

Determine.

Den-ter-mine
Dee-ter-min

....I say it the first way.
We'll add this to the list of words Starr can't pronounce.

by **Hazel** Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:45 am

Well the second way obviously

there is no "n" in the beginning. I don't think I've ever heard it another way.

Did we to route already? I think we did. I have a good one but I forgot it D:

Stoo-pid

by **xStarr_x3** Mon Feb 07, 2011 2:46 am

Salmon.

Sal-mon
Saa-mon

...
Another word I can't pronounce.

by **bibbit** Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:12 am

Do you have some sort of disorder or something?

saa-mən.

by **Hazel** Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:36 am

Saa-min

I don't get how people can't pronounce words when they're over the age of two. You hear it, and then you say it......easy :/

Proportion

pro-portion
per-portion
pre-portion

third for me

by **bibbit** Mon Feb 07, 2011 3:05 pm

prə-portion

by **xStarr_x3** Tue Feb 08, 2011 1:00 am

Pro-poor-shun or per-poor-shun.

It's not exactly 'easy'.
When you grow up saying something one way, it comes out that way and it's hard to break that habit.
I'm a pretty phonetic person. I go by how something is spelt. So when I can't say "salmon" or "genre", that's the reason for that.
I also was in speech therapy when I was in first grade.

by **Hazel** Tue Feb 08, 2011 1:50 am

I don't see how it isn't easy, but I'm an auditory learner. I hear it and copy rather than see and copy. I suppose you just need to grow up saying it the right way, which you can't change now

by **Holleh** Tue Feb 08, 2011 3:16 am

Pruh - poor - shuhn

I usually just say things how I feel like saying them. xP
Like apparently the way I say eczema (which does come up in a lot of conversations for me, seeing as I have it xP) is wrong (eck - zee - muh) and that it is actually eck - zuh - muh. But. Yeah.

by **Hazel** Tue Feb 08, 2011 6:26 am

I just say things how they're supposed to be said, in my own accent of course. I get pronouncing things the way your accent does, but if you know how a word is supposed to sound, I don't know, it just makes sense to say them that way......though I suppose it always could pop out wrong haha

by **Holleh** Tue Feb 08, 2011 8:47 pm

Sometimes the person's arrangement of teeth and their mouth and stuff can play a role in it, too. Like some people's teeth get in the way of their tongue and make them pronounce things differently than they intended to.

by **Hazel** Wed Feb 09, 2011 12:10 am

Hmm yes, that's very true

I can't remember if we did this D:
simultaneous

sim-ul-taneous
or
sime-ul-taneous

And
history

hist-ory
hist-ery
hist-ree

First for the first one, and I alternate between the last two on the second

by **Holleh** Wed Feb 09, 2011 12:24 am

Sime - uhl - tane - ee - us

Hi - stehr - ee
Or hih -stree

by **xStarr_x3** Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:10 pm

Sim-u-tane-ee-us.
Sometimes I'll say the 'ul'.

I use hist-ory.

by **Hazel** Mon Feb 21, 2011 3:26 am

I don't think we did this....maybe, I don't remember.....I'm bored, but not bored enough to check Razz

Process

Pro-cess
Prah-cess

I know we did progress which is kinda the same thing. Whatever Razz

2nd for me

by **xStarr_x3** Mon Feb 21, 2011 4:39 am

I say progress like pro-gress, but I say process like prah-cess. xD

by **BPahl88** Mon Feb 21, 2011 4:50 am

Jimminy cricket!

Sime-ul-tan-ious
Hist-ery --- His-tree
Prah-sess
Prah-gress

by **bibbit** Mon Feb 21, 2011 3:42 pm
