Whatever:
Is Miami, Oklahoma pronounced the same as Miami, Florida?
It’s regional and most of those words we don’t know how to pronounce “ain’t” really used much.
Forehead, Worcester and Boatswain are.
Aunt=(ant/awnt)
Aloha, Oregon. Don't go there and pronouce it like you're in Hawaii.
No it's not. The one in Oklahoma is pronounced Miama. Said like "My am uh".
The nautical words don’t really belong on such a list. That’s like putting technical terms from Silicon Valley on it. The only word i don’t say “correctly” is forehead. I might have said gooseberry wrongly had I ever said it at all.
When I was a kid I read a lot and encountered words I seldom if ever heard pronounced. One was ‘misled.’ I read it as my-zled. I thought it meant something like ‘befuddled.’ I knew the word in speech and used it but did not connect the two uses until I was grown.
Don’t forget Palestine, Texas!
For those journalists going to New Hamshire for the election, the Con-chord is a plan. The City in NH is Con-Curd.
Ants - nasty little critters who ruin your picnic
Aunts - nice ladies who give you gifts and kisses
Do not pronounce the two the same!! Every!!
Try saying mozzarella (moots-a rell) as mots-za-rell-a in my part of the country and you’ll get laughed out of the pizzeria when you order your apizza (ah peats).
Ricotta - rau- cout, not rick-cot-a
For some reason, people always think I’m from Boston and say I’ve a Bostonian accent, though I’ve lived in the New Haven, Connecticut area all my life. And yes, we know we have the best pizza in the world in New Haven. :-)
Does any one else say drawer like draw-er or quarter like quarr- ter?
