Americans pronounce 'legs' as 'laygs'

Americans pronounce 'legs' as 'laygs'.
It's not just a regional thing, now that I've tuned into it, every American does it.
Why? What the fuck? It makes no sense.

General American women

>Iraq and Iran

>ih-rahkee
Finally, this one is up to you. I stick to the 'ah' sound

>sawdering iron

lel

Overall ur retarded accent is orders of magnitude worse than yankee english tho

I know people that say it that way but most people here just say legs

American English isn't English.

Fellow Russian knows what's up

>I know people that say it that way but most people here just say laygs

american women are actually not all that attractive for the most part. we (whites only) down here are way prettier on average.

I live in North Lakes. Saffer girls are scrubs.

mirror = meer
Antarctica = Anartica
Solder = sodder

What else do Americans say objectively wrong?

Aluminium = Aluminum

nookyular
dayta
skedool
"aunt" = "ant"

>Solder = sodder
???

british way of saying soldier and american way is exactly the same

soh-juh

only they capitalise on the r as with every other word in american

same

Thick cunt.

It IS a regional you retarded toothless Paki.

still doesn't excuse the rest of the autism he's spewing at we pronounce all of those words the same as americans except for aunt, which we pronounce as aunt and not ant

dickhead

LAAAYYYUUGGGSSSSS

>Americans pronounce 'legs' as 'laygs'.
I've never heard anyone in the NE pronounce it like that. We says the "eg" like egg not "ayg"

Doesn't excuse you not knowing what solder is.

You all say it that way though, Jamal Von Epstein.

>coronel
What the fuck is that? Did you mean "Colonel"?

>Doesn't excuse you not knowing what solder is.
you'd get smacked up talking like a little cunt over a small reading error like that

come to my ends you fat prick

The pronunciation of the English language as a whole doesn't make sense desu

>Haha they speak my language with an accent
quality thread

The pronunciation isn't the problem, it's that they never changed the spelling properly.

>mirror = meer
No at least in the NE we say all the Rs
>Antarctica = Anartica
No we clearly pronounce all "t"s
>Solder = sodder
Yes and I'm not sure why.
>nookyular
This one I'd weird in that it depends on the person not the region. Most people say something like "Nuke-lee-ur"
>dayta
Yes
>skedool
What????
>"aunt" = "ant"
Depends on person or region, either is acceptable.

You guys don't seem as familiar with Americans as you think you are.

>ISREEL

>skedool
Going to assume he meant 'schedule'.
Think he might also be a Leb.

Long legs

which makes it even more weird

British say butter like "bu-uh" and matter like "ma-uh".
That's much more retarded than anything Americans do.

>The pronunciation isn't the problem, it's that they never changed the spelling properly.
Around the 1600s there was a lot of disagreements in spelling (Widow spelled like Wydah as an example). As time went on different regions pronounced things differently often due to non Anglo immigration or in the case of RP because a bunch of East Anglians decided to ditch rhotic pronounciation. Add to that the fact English borrows a lot of foreign words.

Only retarded Poortherners do that.

>ˈkərnl
It is even worse then.
>write l
>pronounce r

Literally all British people talk that way Muhammad :^)

>mfw Americans pronounce 'the lot of you' as 'all y' all'

you don't know what you're talking about

you all say it that way

Lots of people say Aye-talian too for Italian drives my friend crazy (works at the Subway).

>>skedool
>Going to assume he meant 'schedule'.
Then he's definitely an idiot because we only change the sch to sk
I won't disagree but it doesn't seem to be related to the rest of our accent so it has to have some other reason.

neither does the OP

Southerner here

I pronounce butter like bu-uh and matter like ma-uh

it's inherently an overall British thing, the only people who over-pronounce their t's are rich spoiled upper class cunts

>SAWDERR

>soh-juh

SOL-jer*

Meer is more like meer'r imhe.

All words with a "ch" derived from Greek chi are pronounced with a hard K, saying "schedule" as "shedule" is just plain wrong.

>mfw Americans pronounce 'the lot of you' as 'all y' all'
Stop listening to Southerners, no one else uses y'all

>SOL-jer*
yes I know there is an l in the spelling

the fact of the matter is; in between words, an l is pronounce as a w or a h in this case

this is prevalent amongst ghetto communities in america, and amongst england

so fuck off faggot

Ah yes, I remember Queen Liz asking me to pass the bu-uh, just last week.

>Lots of people say Aye-talian
Where do you live?

It was the same day that an American said "legs" with the same vowel as "day".

fuck off rich faggot you tory cunts should be exterminated

uncivilised swine
there's two fucking t's in the words for a reason

What kind of Russian do you prefer?

Russian (Russia)

Russian (Ukraine)

Vocabularly they are the same, but pronunciation is different.

Haven't you got a JSA appointment to go to or something?

No one in America speaks like that you silly bitch. Some of your former colonies actually know how to speak the language you inbred out of your own understanding.

We Australians would change the T's to D's rather than dropping them entirely

Budda, madda etc. i cant pronounce the T's without sounding like a wanker

Fuck off Fingol.

I can't proniunce the standart r in Russian without an accent, but I can in Polish.

>british way of saying soldier and american way is exactly the same
>soh-juh
Only if you're black and from the south.
Most people pronounce it like
Soul-(d)jur

Michigan, Northeast of Detroit. "Italy" is still fine, but lot of people will say "Eye talian" for Italian.

Wikipedia says this is derogatory (like Ay-rab?) but I've never seen it used in a derogatory way.

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Eye-talian

The pronunciation is somewhat similar all around the world. You don't write dialect.
You can try to change the words so they look like they sound.

>Add to that the fact English borrows a lot of foreign words.
We have that in Dutch too. We still change how we spell words so they look more how they're spoken like.

Why we are on language, do Native English speakers call things like adjustable wrenches="Crescent Wrenches" or tissue paper=
'Kleenex"?

No, among the Anglosphere countries, you guys are the only ones (maybe Canadians, not sure) that tend to refer to household items by their brand-names.

>I pronounce butter like bu-uh and matter like ma-uh

Im not Finnish. Try again, if you have a minute between paying taxes to the royal family and getting run down by a disgruntled refugee.

>british way of saying soldier and american way is exactly the same
>soh-juh
What the fuck am I reading?

a kleenex and tissue paper are different things in British English

We call a Kleenex a tissue, and tissue paper is what you might wrap things with or use it for packing glass vases

After living in the states, I've realised American's call a lot of things b brand names such as band aids which we call plasters

Interesting, we do it with a ton of stuff too. Weedeater, velcro, qtips, chapstick, band-aid...etc

Northern ape-speak.

AHHHHHH MAAAY LAYYYYYYYGSSSSS

Sometimes. Ive only ever known markers as "Texta's" i only found out recently that "Texta" is a brand

We call them band-aids too. Didnt know it was a brand untill now

>Michigan, Northeast of Detroit. "Italy" is still fine, but lot of people will say "Eye talian" for Italian.
>Wikipedia says this is derogatory (like Ay-rab?) but I've never seen it used in a derogatory way.
Yeah I'm from Southern New England, live in NYC and have lived in NJ and never heard it pronounced that way. I don't see how it's derogatory, just weird.

>leftenant

>velcro
That one's universal though.

I like the way she says "balls" tbqh

PLAY DOUGH

> I'm from Southern New England, live in NYC and have lived in NJ and never heard it pronounced that way.

Who cares?

just look at that elegant shaped body and challenging smile. you know it worth it

I agree in principle but unbranded it should be
"hook and loop fasteners"

>Brits say "gay-raj" instead of garage
>Brits say "Americer" instead of "America"
>Brits say "fink" instead of "think"
>Brits say "cuppatay" instead of "cup of tea"
>Brits say "Fursday" instead of "Thursday"

Some people also say saran wrap instead of plastic wrap and all resealable plastic containers as tuperware.

A few I am guilty of:
drownd
dialate
excetera
For all intensive purposes
mannaise

>I'm from Southern New England, live in NYC and have lived in NJ and never heard it pronounced that way.
>Who cares?

>Thread about pronounciation in different areas
>No one cares if people in different areas don't use a pronounciation

Are you retarded?

Do you also say
>i could care less

>T. Yank
>t.dixie scum

Too lazy to say "all of you"?

No, who cares. "I don't say it that way" is fucking asinine and you know it. Give an interesting regional pronunciation of your own or fuck off.
