That same brand is the first five results on Amazon. Shame on otherlad for not finding a more rarified example of a pink and white nugget bar.

Now there's a chap who clearly enjoys sleeping on his right side.

>"Bury"

They're saying it wrong!

>>34760

Our confusing place names have protected us from espionage for generations.

>>34760
How do you say it? I think it's like Shrewsbury, where there's pretty much a 50/50 split on how to say it. I say Berry but I just try to avoid saying Shrewsbury and just mumble something like "Shuzzbury" to avoid having to take a side.

>>34762

It's just "Shroosbri", isn't it? Depends on your local accent I suppose.

Kergut (Kirkgate) is my favourite one that confuses offcomed'uns round here.

>>34762

The locals say buh-ri, not berry.

Gateacre near Liverpool is good value, being pronounced "gat-uh-kuh" rather than anything rational or reasonable.

>>34763
Some say Shrew, some say Shrow.

>>34765
Moushole, Leominster. No one actually knows how they are pronounced, everyone just either feels smug that they learned, or pretend.

It's called what the people living there call it.

>>34767
How is Fazakerley pronounced? It looks like one of those, but it never appears on the list so really it is just Fazz Ackerley like it's spelt.

>>34768
>so really it is just Fazz Ackerley
I meant, of course, to say "so maybe it really is just Fazz Ackerley". Now I've had to post about it twice, I will be doubly humiliated when it turns out to be pronounced "Fally" and everyone knew this but me.

Am I right in thinking that whilst is another way of saying although and shouldn't be used in place of while?

>>34856

They mean the same thing, but whilst shouldn't be used as a noun - you can't "wait around for a whilst". Whilst is formal, mostly obsolete and I would generally avoid it; it's mainly used in slightly pretentious undergraduate essays.

If I ate one of those would I have eaten "a Minstrel" or "a Minstrels"?

>>35033
A Minstrel, clearly. I don't see how it could be any other way.

I used to work with a guy who only ever said "crisp", singular. Sitting here, eating a packet of crisp. I love crisp, he would tell me. We sacked him in the end.

I was just listening to the Off Menu podcast episode with Katy Wix. She said aspartame a bizarre number of times and kept pronouncing it "as-PAR-ta-ME". I had to turn it off because I felt like I was going mad.

I don't like the way people from West Yorkshire say "July" as two separate words.

Does anyone else pronounce "layers" as "lehrrs" instead of "lay-ers"? I thought that was how it was meant to be said but people keep giving me shit for it.

Also is "tongue" pronounce "tung" or "tong"?

>>35101
>Does anyone else pronounce "layers" as "lehrrs" instead of "lay-ers"? I thought that was how it was meant to be said but people keep giving me shit for it.

I'm currently questioning which way I pronounce it, couldn't tell you without using it in normal conversation first.

>Also is "tongue" pronounce "tung" or "tong"?

Tung, you mung.

>>35101
I very much say lay-ers rather than lairs. "Lairs" is a Northern thing; I don't think any Southerners say it. I also say "tung", but my friend who says "lairs" also says "tong".

"Strength" and "length" have a G in them. They do not rhyme with "tenth".

Is referring to Morrisons as "Moggies" really a thing?

Sun tan lotion.

>>35169
Rhyme dictionaries say they do and I have no idea how you're pronouncing this supposedly not silent g.

>>35188
Do you pronounce "n" and "ng" the same way?

>>35189
'Ng' isn't a sound I readily identify with. It's the preceding vowel that allows me to pronounce it. Although saying these three-letter sounds aloud I can just about hear the ending is similar.

I can't make any sort of 'g' sound in 'length' without making the 'th' sound lispy. I say length as if the 'g' isn't there and you can't tell me that isn't normal.

Do you acknowledge the concept of silent letters?

>>35190
Yes I do. Do you know what a diphthong is?

>>35190

Either is "correct", in the sense that they're widely-used dialectical variations. To be technical about it, you use the voiced alveolar nasal (n as in new), but the other lad uses the voiced velar nasal (ng as in sing). I think you're trying to use the voiced velar plosive (g as in brag), which is why you're getting caught up.

>>35191

Diphthongs are combined vowel sounds within the same syllable. You will note that "strength" and "length" only contain a single vowel.

>>35192

Even then I've definitely heard some folk say it more like "len-guh-th."

Genny lec.

LOS ANSCHLUSS

This is, very slowly, turning into a reason to learn the IPA.

LOW AND BEHOLD! LOW! It's not a magical incantion, no need to find the nearest spelling you know.

I think I've whinged about this before, but when people try do the mockney Lahndahn type of accent in written text (usually it's for an orc or something in a comic), and they phoneticise "like" as "loik". That really pisses me off, because it's only subtly wrong, but it's a fundamental error.

I've just seen someone trying to do the Norf FC meme, so it should quite clearly and obviously be a northern accent, this issue shouldn't even enter the picture, and they still put fucking "loik".

>>35532

OI MOITE AVE YOU GOT A LOICENCE FOR THAT OPINION

I've just been on the phone with someone who said things like "lits" instead of "literally".

When did people start pronouncing any word that ends is -es, usually plurals like biases, processes, etc, as "eez"? Biyaseez. Prawsuhseez.

Fuckin hate it. I don't know is it's technically correct or not, but it only ever sounds like a deliberate and pretentious affectation because you heard some other cunt say it that way.

eskimo CLOTH.

I hate the word subtle because the silent 'b' was added later in history to conform to its Latin origins as a deliberate revision of language without also changing how it was pronounced in English.

Americans pronunce the bee which makes it worse.

>>36546
>Americans pronunce the bee which makes it worse.
Do they? Now I'm questioning if I've ever heard an American say "subtle", because I can't even imagine someone saying "sub-tle". Interesting insight into one of English's more curious spellings anyway.

>>36547
I feel sure they pronounce it "suddle".

Loads of Seppos can't pronounce the T in the middle of a word. That's why they say dawder instead of daughter and wawder instead of water.

>>36549

"Sodder" seems to be the standard American pronunciation of "solder", which I find infuriating.

Short statue.

>>36561

No, yes, maybe, no, no, yes, no.

Mrs Teal would get it from behind, in the ass, while her husband laps up the her drippings (Christ). Yellow has a nice face. The Blues look reletively normal if that's acceptable to say, while the Reds .. nah thanks.

>>36550

They also pronounce "probably" as "prawbley". Which I find odd every time.
