Who the hell pronounced nougat as new-git?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 9 months ago (3 children)

American here: I've never heard it pronouned any other way.

[–] Threeme2189@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Do you also hear Caramel pronounced as Carmel? I hate that one...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

That one depends on the person. Sometimes it's "care-mul" but others sometimes annunciate the word "carAmel" properly. Especially those in and around Carmel. Because it is not candy.

carmel is a pretty little town... didn't they elect clint eastwood as mayor or something?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

That's a regional thing in the US. I've always pronounced the second a.

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I figured it'd be america tbh. Not a single word there is pronounced correctly

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Not a single word there is pronounced correctly

Not true. We have exactly one word that is pronounced that way. 😌

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Huh. I guess correctly is pronounced correctly lol

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 months ago

I hate this weird mix between IPA and Latin letters. It's not how this works

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

You're joking, right? Under what standard are words in American English pronounced incorrectly? I mean, let's just take this example:

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Seriously. It's new git. Why the hell have a t if it's silent? And I was taught by candy commercials, the only time we really even hear the word is in reference to candy.

[–] s@piefed.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

taught

Why the hell have a gh if it’s silent? English is screwy

[–] Dravin@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

To distinguish it from taut which is pronounced the exact same way. :)

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

We didn't bother with wind, wind, live, live, etc.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Milky Way candy bar commercials in the US?

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Can we just disconnect the whole country from the internet? Too many weird things coming out of there /hj

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Did you just offer me a handjob?

I like to save the handjobs till at least the first date uwu

Americans. Probably Canadians, too. Although it's more "-gut" than "-git."
