I'm sturggling to hear the difference of "ChicaRgo" and "ChicaHgo" without putting on an over the top ChicAHHHHgo accent, so I'm guessing I probably do this.

 

[Tisch]

Anyway, I'm off to have a glarrss of wine in the barrf.

 

[Kate]

Right? It's not like anyone says CHICAGGO

 

[COB]

We need to resolve this - @ZenGiraffe how do you pronounce your favourite brand of frozen pizza?

With the trilled R in my accent it's very obvious.

OK fine I forgot about you lot.

CHICK-AGO TOWN no doubt

Now I’m curious how y’all say Chicago. Can someone record it? Specifically @Tisch

I shouldn’t talk of course, in fact I don’t seem to be able to talk while I’m here (in London), and I can barely understand what some people say.
I heard some Americans on the tube and it was so relaxing because I didn’t have to make an effort to understand.

I probably say it wrong due to my excessive R use. It would sound different in Essex

It does sound like chicargo

 

[Marina Salty]

And as for certain English pronounciation;

I've heard D&G as Dolcy and Gabbana, but it's cute.

Can’t let go of my West Country roots

Dolsy and GabbanaAHRR

 

[RJN]

This is hard to put in words, but when I read anything, be it here or anywhere else, I read it in my own accent in my head. I assumed everyone did that but maybe not

Here’s how we say it in Swedish:

Exactly like this! @RJN but with less of a audiobook voice

 

[lolly]

Or in general just adding the letter R into words in where it doesn't belong i.e. CHICARGO

I think about 50% of people around these parts call lager LARGER with a hard G.

Obviously we do the rhotic R more than anywhere else in the country as well. And it's the thing that gives me away when drunk.

This sounds closer to the American pronunciation than @Alex did

Come on your turn

Yes. And while i don't have to translate the words in my head during this, if the text contains any numerical symbols for some reason my head will read every number in greek.

@Alex to read Moopy Gold.

 

[GNL]

I am like this but with fruit

Oh wow, a delicious muffin! I can't wait to eat all of the chocolate ch- eugh, what is this? Why would you do this to me?

 

[Lucille]

And as for certain English pronounciation; I hate that r-sound that some British/Australians and others add to words that end with an a. I only noticed this a couple of years ago and for some reason it annoys me.

Today I heard a man saying ”siester” about siesta.

Oh you’d hate me.

 

[RS]

Oh you’d hate me.

For you, I’d always make exceptions.

 

[Diddy]

I don’t know how to pronounce any thing now how should I be saying Chicago?

Is it an R British do, or one of those long posh ahhh sounds? Like in Bath

 

[Kate]

Oh I like dried fruit. But I bet it’s been mentioned in here already. See also @Rachey complaining about having to put it in her CHRISTMAS FUDGE.

awful awful stuff. And why is there so many varieties of dried grape? Sultanas, raisins, currants, one disgusting dried grape is enough.

I'm dreading making this fudge.

 

[Kate]

You don’t have to eat it surely? If you need additional TASTERS I volunteer

My Nurse With Wound CD going missing in the post.

Can you also do "sea cargo"? Is it different?

 

[Diddy]

What I’m not seeing is some kind Murcan showing us the right way

 

[Alex]

[Marina Salty]

In a sentence like this i can tell them apart, context helps a lot, but they sound quite similar to me.

They are I still don't really think I say it that differently to what's on the Wikipedia page. It does sound a bit Chi car go to me

 

[Marina Salty]

My attempt.

 

[RJN]

“Sea cargo” is a bit “food crop”

 

[Alex]

Mmm TASTY FOOD CROP
