I say orr-inj<BR/><BR/>You say cayr-a-mel ... I say kar-a-mell<BR/><BR/>You say pee-con ... I say pee-can (That's why it has an 'A' in it)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Also, for the record:<BR/><BR/>Herbs starts with an 'H', otherwise it would be 'erbs'. The H is stressed as in 'hello'.<BR/><BR/>Nuclear is 'new-clear'. It derives from nucleus NOT 'new-killus'.<BR/><BR/>Sublime is 'sub-lyme' not 'sub-leem', this was in a recent l'oreal advert over here and irritated me to no extent.<BR/><BR/>A 'British accent' can be anything. Britian includes the countries Ireland, Scotland ans Wales, each has its own accent. What Americans usually mean by this is an 'English accent'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11229564.post-1141263899879530932006-03-01T20:44:00.000-05:002006-03-01T20:44:00.000-05:00Love the Dumb & Dumber quote - I used to hang with...Love the Dumb & Dumber quote - I used to hang with a girl from Jersey who always claimed she was from 'The City' - but she lived far south in NJ.
