Next you’ll be telling me I should pronounce the L in island as well!
Oh fine, let’s just start pronouncing “recognize” as though there were actually a “G” in it then!! I mean where does the madness stop!!
as a swede whose accent is a hodgepodge of everything between scottish to RP to some vague average of american plus of course swenglish, i have spoken into the void and it spake back.

Thus spake Zarathrustra. (if I spelled that wrong -well, I’m an American). I’d rather not hear any voices out of the void - this whole thing makes me shiver, recalling my lifelong fear of the black void of space and the movie “2001 A Space Odyssey.” (Shudders).
Or the t in exactly.
Actually that sort of annoys me…
From now on I’ll pronounce Worcester as whore Chester.
In a German quizz show, there was the question how to pronounce it and not everyone know
You’re not supposed to? Not a native English speaker.
No. The word comes from a guy’s name, not the fish, so the L is pronounced.
Now that is a Rubicon that I crossed ages ago.
Can anyone say the s and the th in Isthmus? It’s making my tongue feel funny.
I always pronounce it that way.
Just as long as I can simultaneously drop the’l’ sound from salmonella
what
is it not pronounced /sɔɫmən/ (sol-muhn)???
SAM-in
*They put sall-mon in the fish tacos, Hank. ¡SALL-MON!
I can’t believe this is already here. That’s what I was gonna post!
You know what? You’re absolutely right! We have no future, if climate change doesn’t get us in the next 50 years, or the endless crushing of the working classes under late stage capitalism, then the rising new wave of western fascism will when it takes over.
Nothing matters any more, let’s just do whatever we want <3
Orgy, anyone?
I’ll bring the wine.
As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked
I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.
Salmon in English sounds like semen in Spanish
I speak Spanish and it’s wild to have no many randomly decided silent letters in words. We have the H that is silent always, and that’s it. We have Salmón, with the intonation in the o, and we of course pronounce the L. I can’t even say salmon without the L while not sounding stupid.
stares from Portugal
“nh” and “lh” are sounds
You should see Fr*nch.
They only pronounce the vowels and once in a blue moon a consonant.

Yes! Pronounce your letters, don’t be weird! (I know this is not about this, but I’ll probably never be able to tell this to any anglophone.)
How should I say should? How should I talk talk? Should I talk to the Colonel about putting the scissors in the drawer?
Like shoulder.
Maybe English needs an accent mark for silence, like the Turkish ğ
Partly wish I had Twitter in order to commend them on their choice of Frisky Dingo profile pic, but I’d rather pull the pubes off my scrotum one-by-one with tweezers than visit Twitter so it’s not going to happen.
Anybody want to DM OP for me? Or get their pubes removed?
