This. If you don't go into it being positive, why bother? Oh and as for language differences; Americans can't even spell aluminium, never mind say it. And fanny is a word for a lady's front bottom, not an arse.
There was a character in Eastenders at one time called Gita and it was pronouced Gi-ugh. One example of the English not pronoucing their ''Ts''. There is languages ie French where it is necessary to leave out letters,however it is usually the last letter. Example the word small in french is petit and is pronounced peti the t at the end is not pronouced.
Then there is words that aren't pronounced they way they are spelt. Examples a J in Denmark is pronounced as a Y ie Jan Molby. A J in Spanish is pronounced as a H as in Javier Mascherano. A G in Dutch is pronounced as a H in Dutch as in Ruud Gullit. There is no such letter as K in my own language Irish,all words with a K in them are spelt with a C or a Ch. A Ph in Irish is pronounced on some occasions as an F depending on the word.
Bluff. Is it true Spaniards pronounce words by rubbing their tongue off their top teeth? It sounds like that.
Bluff Maybe you can answer this one for me. Why do some americans pronounce nuclear, noocular? Is this considered a legitimate variation or are they just hicks?
How would you pronounce? Seeing if I fall into the hick category or not lol. Just want something to compare it to
New clear. And we say nyu not noo. Nooclear would be ok but can't fathom the noocular- where does the u come in after the c?
The story I heared was that the Spanish lisp comes from one of the Kings of Castille who suffered from a lisp. His courtiers were so afraid of offending him that they all adopted the lisp. Pleasnt little story but not really credible.
Why the hell is Sloan wearing a kilt? That makes him a Scroat and we all know they don't talk English!
ya not the best choice of name for the boy, and you would be amazed at some of the lack of knowledge on scottish differing from English. For example, down the road here we have an "authentic" English Pub and to be fair, it comes pretty close. But the waiters, waitresses, bartenders.......all in kilts. doh
Back on the topic of season predictions, I see Liverpool winning all 6 of the first 6 games with only really Tottenham standing in our way. Arsenal will be rattled by the transfer window, and the other teams we should beat with our squad. However Tottenham have always been tricky opponents for us and I think if we do drop points it will be to them.
