Americans and the letter 'H'...
 

You drop the 'H' in 'Herbs' but then say 'Ve-here-call'.....

I can live with the 'Herb' thing because you are using the french pronunciation - I hate it but get it...

But why 'vehicle'?

I don't lose sleep over it, but it does annoy me for some reason.....

Any time I go to America, I always notice they pronounce Scott with an A, so it sounds more like Scatt! :1orglaugh

When I say Scott, they are like "huh? Oh you mean Scatt !!!" :helpme

The name 'Craig' is one as well - They say Crak!.....

You know I love you guys - But why Crak?..

You must visit the north east.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

at least we don't add vowels, such as aluminEium.

Let me axe you a question.

lol - It is Al U Min I Um...

lol, nice try but you brits pronounce it like i spelled it, with the added e

.....................

alu - greek or latin for salt im not sure

minium - another similar salt mineral with a red oxide color used by the romans

they are both similar to bauxite from witch aluminum is transformed...

alu-minium loses one i and becomes aluminum but the european pronunciation is technically correct...

ah, so the brits just added in the extra i so the spelling would match the ununciation.

cheeky.

Boston it's Scwatt

Jesus H Christ...... Emphasis on the "H".....

Cannot even begin to address the differences in pronunciation her in `Merica

I drive 3-4 hours in any direction and I don't know WTF people are says half the time.

Supposed to be the same language, but..........dunno

Might head down the shore this weekend with the rest of us from Jewrsey

Well uh, rumour around town says you mighht be thinkin' 'bout goin' down to
the shore.


Whadda ya gonna do down there?

NEVER EVER does the word to get used in that sentence :) also I should have added an "an shit" on the end

Like might drink sum beer an shit

Hey uh, were ya goonna check out the sand bar while you're down there?

bad try, we spell it differently, its a different word. that's why it sounds different!

don't even try! y'all just changed the spelling so you can pronounce it like you want.

ok, so, plenty of people do say "Herb" with a hard h, and and the famous nu-cyu-ler of George "Barely Sentient" Bush .

However, let's not pretend that you Brits all speak alike in BBC English either - in a small pub in Leatherhead I had a full conversation with a fellow and did not understand ANYTHING he said. We had to use drunken pantomine, because he did not see the need to use his tongue while speaking. The guy next to him I could understand just fine.

Look, we all speak some French, thanks to you getting your asses kicked by Guillame in 1066. Good show! Then for 300 years you were a vassal population like the Spartan Helots. Now we have slight differences, but damn you guys can act, so I love all of you, except the ones that stab people on the streets and cut them up, or set houses on fire with people in them, or sucker punch 70 year old men and kill them, etc.

I have never heard a single person pronounce those names like that.

Very rarely do I hear "veHicle," it usually sounds like "v-icle." Silent H.

Either way, depends where you go. I've lived in three regions, each region had different quirks and dialects.

What gets me is how around Texas parts people say "ice" like "ass." "Would you like some ass in your Coke?"

"Uh... no thanks! I mean, yes?"

Watch Malcolm In The Middle...

scott as scat? maybe he be on some crack?

So let me get this straight... You base your whole opinion on how a country pronounces a name, because you heard an actor... in a tv sitcom... pronounce it that way?

I was taking the piss out of a certain kind of American - Your kind...

"my kind"? And what is that? You seem to be one of those people who bases their whole opinion of a country on what someone else says, or they see on TV, instead of what they've experienced themselves...

Cockneys drop H aswell, I do it quite often when talking casually with friend and family.

"I ave to go back to my ouse to pick up a coupla tins of einze soup, or I'm not gunna be able to eat anythin for me lunch"

Canadians and Craig don't mix either. Kreg? WTF?

Aluminium is how we spell it, as mentioned above.

Same as Yog-Hurt (see the H we snuck in there?) with the slight H sound, Instead of Yogurt.

I found Boston area extremely weird, sounds American for the most part, then some English pronounced words seem to creep in here and there.

I think you are the only person that is taking it seriously - Learn to laugh at yourself...

The really fun part is, any soft drink in Texas is called a coke.

"What kind of Coke woul'd y'all like? We have Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper and Big Red"

I haven't noticed that, but the obsession with Big Red kills me. The stuff is awful. That and chicken fried steak. Yeah, it's good, but the level at which Texans love chicken fried steak is hilarious.

speaking of texas, y'all know what the plural of y'all is?

You's guys'.

NO, them's fightin words!

It's "all y'all" obviously.

the plural of y'all is all y'all.

i'm going to drink a coke, what are all y'all fixing to do?

I ain't gay so I'm not into details ...

Fuck my cousin.

oh, i'm just trying to have a little fun, it's not at all obvious to people not familiar with texas.

Giv you's sum ass.

you're in oklahoma?

wait, y'all were being sarcastic huh! right over my head.
