No, you really shouldn't have said it, but there are a lot of mes out there... XP

I say ex-cet-ter-ra

by **xStarr_x3** Fri May 07, 2010 8:41 pm

Let's see.. what about the days of the week?
Like, how do you say 'day' when you say one?
Like 'day' or 'dee'? xD People say it like "Tuesdee" down here.

by **Hazel** Fri May 07, 2010 9:35 pm

Yeah I've heard people say it dee every random now and then. But I say day.

by **BPahl88** Mon May 10, 2010 1:38 am

I say it with a "day". "dee" just sounds too slang for me. Razz

by **xStarr_x3** Mon May 10, 2010 10:31 pm

I say it as 'day' too. 'Dee' just sounds.. weird.

Uhm.. lesseeee.
What other words are there?

by **xStarr_x3** Thu May 27, 2010 7:37 pm

I'm sorry for the double post. BUT I HAVE THOUGHT OF MORE.

Forward(s).
For-ward(s)
Fo-ward(s)

Buried.
Berry-d
Burr-ee-d

by **2bAgen.** Thu May 27, 2010 8:05 pm

Forward(s)

Both for buried. Depends on what mood my mouth is in.

by **bibbit** Thu May 27, 2010 8:06 pm

For-ward and berry-d, although the latter doesn't make much sense. xD

by **Hazel** Thu May 27, 2010 9:20 pm

for-wards

berry-d

by **xStarr_x3** Thu May 27, 2010 9:31 pm

I say it fo-wards.
And then people make fun of me.. actually, I didn't notice this until yesterday.
"Fo-wards? Fo-wards? FORWARDS!" "Hey, she's from Jersey." I never realized.. xD

I say it both ways, depending on how it's used.

Ukulele/Ukelele.
You-kah-lay-lee
Oo-kah-lee-lee
You-kah-lee-lee

by **Hazel** Thu May 27, 2010 9:43 pm

You-kah-lay-lee Razz

I don't think I've ever heard it another way :/

by **xStarr_x3** Thu May 27, 2010 10:59 pm

It's supposed to be pronounced as oo-kah-lee-lee, actually.

by **Hazel** Fri May 28, 2010 2:33 am

Eh weird. I don't like it Razz

by **BPahl88** Fri May 28, 2010 4:12 am

For-wards
Berry-d
You-ka-lay-lee

by **2bAgen.** Fri May 28, 2010 3:21 pm

A cross between you-ka-lay-lee and oo-ka-lay-lee
Somehow.

by **xStarr_x3** Sat May 29, 2010 7:09 pm

Row.
R-oh
R-aow

by **bibbit** Sat May 29, 2010 7:18 pm

Both pronunciations are correct, depending on the definition.

by **Holleh** Sat May 29, 2010 11:00 pm

Sure like
shurr
or shore?

For me, it depends on the context around the word, I guess. xP I dunno; I catch myself saying it either way.

by **bibbit** Sat May 29, 2010 11:08 pm

I say shurr or shOOr (like "food").

by **Holleh** Sat May 29, 2010 11:48 pm

I see.

So I think I just figured out when I use each way.
Like shurr if I'm just using it alone as a response to a question or something.
And shore if I'm like using it in a long sentence or something.

by **bibbit** Sun May 30, 2010 1:07 am

I guess that sort of makes sense. kind of. maybe. :p

by **Holleh** Sun May 30, 2010 2:52 am

Ah, here's a good one.

Jaguar
JAG-WIRE
Or some other weird way? =P

Jag-wire for me.

by **2bAgen.** Sun May 30, 2010 10:03 am

Shore

Jag-oo-ar

by **bibbit** Sun May 30, 2010 5:10 pm

Jag-oo-ar is the NORMAL way to say it. xP

by **Holleh** Sun May 30, 2010 5:18 pm

Jag-oo-ar is the WEIRD way to say it. =P
I can't even say it like that.
