Mikey Tomo Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 English is a complicated language. Where ever you're from depicts on how you say things. There is never a right and wrong way to pronounce something as long as it looks and sounds OK to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Weirdly SRAM - which I and pretty much everyone AFAIK pronounce as a word even though it's always written in all capitals is Mars backwards - coincidence or just weird?

Spider Lad Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 English is a complicated language. Where ever you're from depicts on how you say things. There is never a right and wrong way to pronounce something as long as it looks and sounds OK to you.Wrong.What chauvinism to assume everything has to be in English.You should ideally pronounce a word as it would be pronounced in the language to which it belongs.

Tomm Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 You should ideally pronounce a word as it would be pronounced in the language to which it belongs.Gonna disagree with that.So you pronounce the word 'deraillieure' as something like 'de-ray-urgh' because it's derived from French? And all these words get the French pronunciation too? Art, competition, force, machine, police, publicity, role, routine, table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Anyone who pronounces czar as C-zar, Caesar, K-zar (wtf?) is a moron. Czar (Pronounced 'zar') is an actual word.For that reason: Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 One weird feature of imported words is that if the word and its plural are both taken from the source language at the same time then the plural is as in the foreign language (Vertebra/Vertebrae), if not its pluralised as in English (Pendulum/Pendulums). Sometimes though the singular and plural make their way to English through separate routes and have separate meanings like datum and data...
