Oh dear, the 80's, what a strange, strange era.

Though I'm sure that lady was aroused by the idea of a muscular man dancing around, ripping his shirt off and using the bread knife as a phallic symbol...I'm surprised she managed to keep her cool, I'm sure most girls would have let out a dreamy sigh at least 12 times before cutting the bread.

Though. sex appeal for a bread advert, did it work?

The beauty of UK English, we always know how to pronounce English unlike the rest of the world, but in the wisdom of Eddie Izzard:

"They say 'erb, we say herb, because there's a ****ing 'h' in it"

Still, it's amusing when we get American tourists, "Excuse me, is this the right way to Birming-HAM?"

Though thinking about it now, planet X have the most interesting answers for the English language.

I said alu-min-yum to my mom once instead of the American pronunciation of aluminum ("alu-min-uhm"), her head almost exploded lol. I had to find her an episode of Top Gear with Brits saying it like that show her I wasn't getting alzheimers (sp?) at 28 years old. I think she may have been upset lol, she spent her entire life teaching only to find out that she herself can't properly pronounce some words . Didn't think she'd get that offended when I told her that, boy was I wrong!

Haha, well unfortunately, as far as I can remember, wasn't it an American that named Aluminium in the first place? I think we got our pronunciation because of how the other 'iums' are pronounced, I'm sure Plutonum would sound weird to even you yanks, so having Aluminium just kept it coherent.

Whereas:

Zeebra instead of Zebra is just weird,
'erb instead of herb is mad
ZeeBrush is just an abomination to the English Language, it should be ZedBrush, Zed, the last letter of the English alphabet
And what's with all of the Z's instead of S's?

OMG! So you guys do pronounce "Zee" by saying "Zed". That puzzled me so much when my math teacher (Scottish) pronounced Z's that way, I thought it was some sort of math term I didn't understand, lol.

Heheheh......

I love the way people in America say "Gaadd bless america!", seems so silly to a country that doesn't have enough Patriotism in it.....

I hate how -our endings are or in America, since MicroSoft is American, that means I get a Red Squiggle under any words like Armour, Humour, Fervour......

I live in Norfolk, and the main pronunciation pain here is not pronouncing Ts in words, so water becomes Woah'Ah, kettle becomes Keh'ell, and so on.....

Thankfully, I don't talk like that because I come from Scotland....

Nah, god has obviously blessed America more than anyplace else. America is the most religious developed nation in the world. God favors America because Americans favor god.

God save the queen

Now, that one I find offensive. Like she's worth a lot more than anybody else. And god would save her above others because she's rich? Disgusts me.

We don't emphasise the 'ham' so much, it sounds less stressed, perhaps think more - birming-em.

Yeah, however 'zee' and other Americanisms are sneaking in to our dialect...I suppose Dragonball Z is to blame.

Quote: "'ello, I'll tell 'arry Potter that on the way 'ome!"


I'm afraid an Eddie Izzard joke isn't universal to all dialects of the English language in the UK.

Despite the fun of bickering between the English and American way of pronouncing things, there is no 'right' way of saying things, just different standards between the two main dialects - though if you say 'Rabbit' as 'dog', then there's obviously an issue.

Agreed, I personally can't stand the monarchy at all.

The monarchy is a good thing because the queen only has one power left: she can reject any decision made by the government. Obviously, if it is a decision the people want, then the government will just reduce her power even more, and the decision will still pass. Although it is only one person who has this power, which you may think is unfair, it helps keep decisions to helping the country instead of just the prime minister and overall does more good than you'd think. As you should know, an excess of anything is bad, so it is always good to have a bit of inherited power along with mostly democratic power, so that neither can turn 'bad' without the other stopping them.

Yes I hate that too :-P

I remember when I was in Bath, England and the tour guide corrected me rather harshly, shouting "it's BAAAWWWWWTH!". You won't find anyone here doing that to foreigners who mispronounce Gagliardi (it's pronounced Gawlardee).

Sounds like you got yourself a crappy tour guide, I've not met people who are actually uptight about pronunciation/dialects, most do it out of general jibes - going to Uni in the midlands I get mocked for my southern accent, jibed for 'grahss', 'bahth' etc. I suppose it doesn't help that I say Indiahna Jones either. Bloody unfit, coal mining, commonfolk!
