KingOfHyrule Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 FIL-EM!!!!! Haha I was wondering what the fascination was with us or the Scottish saying "film", I didn't realise we pronounced it differently to the Brits! So do you say "filllmm" and we say "fil-emm"?

Kurtle Squad Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 words i dont like the sound of: moist But it's moist....Mmmmmm moist *drool* I don't have any I like really, but I hate words that should be uncommon but Americans like to use non-stop, such as: Lactose-Intolerant Hyper-ventilating I also hate "Couch" and hate the termanology: "Blowing someone off" when used in the American-Austrailian sence since it means something COMPLETELY different over here and also makes more sence. There are also words like "Bifidus Digestivum", "Exfoliate", "Micro Dermabrasion" and all other termanoligy used on adverts aimed at females in order to sound smart; though everyone knows they made un "Bifidus Digestivum" in a couple of seconds.

conzer16 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Great thread! I agree with Conzer, my favourite word is an Irish word: Féileacán (fayle-a-kaan) It means butterfly aww. He'd probably pronounce it differently to me because he lives in Wexford and I live in Belfast, so I speak Ulster Irish (obviously the canúint is fearr in Éirinn - isn't that right Conzer? ) I like crystal and sparkling as well. Hmmmm well i will concede go bhfuil Canúint na nUladh álainn ar fad, (ach b'fhéidir go bhfuil sé saghas deacair a thuiscint!), but no I would pronounce féileacán the same way! What I hate about the Ulster dialect is way ye pronounce "Rugadh" (rug-oo!!) or similar "-adh" words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Ninja0 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 i think some of the words here need a brief definition like otorhinolaryngologist- however its spelt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otorhinolaryngologist Wikipedia is your friend, and Blue_Ninja0 too!!!:awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I hate about the Ulster dialect is way ye pronounce "Rugadh" (rug-oo!!) or similar "-adh" words! Ugh, don't get me started on dialectic differences! I prefer the Ulster pronunciation of -adh words, I have to say. But the best is how we pronounce roghnaigh and todhchaà - yes technically it should be something like "raownee(g)" and "taowkee" but we say "rain-yee" and "taya-hee". Lol gotta love it. Donegal speakers are the best for it, I don't think Munster or Connacht speakers would have a clue if they tried staying in the Donegal Gaeltacht!

Guest Stefkov Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 hippopotomonstrosesquipedeliaphobia fear of long words also anyone know why phonietically isnt spelt fonetically? even phonetical isnt spelt fonetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jav_NE Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Just co-incidence that the pronounciation of phonetically has to have a 'ph' starting else with an 'f' it would sound different i.e. fone-etically, the 'ph' takes away that extra 'e' so it sounds like fon-etically. Thats what i think anyway. It is silly though. And we wonder why Enlgish is the hardest language to learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
