How do say the following words? Do you say the following to rhyme: stance chance lance france dance trance
cast last mast past - letter r after vowel a , or without, drag out vowel a?
Do father lather rather and gather all rhyme for you?
Do you say look book, rook and cook with the two letter o's or without?
Do you say good and hood to rhyme, but food doesn't rhyme with those?
Class, mass, lass, pass, crass, grass, glass all rhyme with ass?
How about parse, parsley, parsnip, sparse, with or without the letter r?
I'm sure there are many more words which differ in pronunciation.
How do you say pasta, garage, Monaco, message, massage, entourage, route,?
Do soot, root, loot, boot, foot all rhyme for you?

Obviously Americans would pronounce these words differently than the British. I am American so, in the second line of your post, all words rhyme for me. In the third line, all words rhyme except the first. I do not understand the meaning of the fourth line but all the words rhyme for me. Fifth line, answer is yes. 6th line, all words rhyme. 7th, always with a distinct R. Line 8, hard to answer. Last line, the first and last words rhyme but not with the words in between.
Well, I guess I had some extra time on my hands. I hope you found that enlightening.

Along that same line:
Apparently, we Canadians pronounce the word "about" as "aboot".
I didn't know this until South Park brought out Terrence and Phillip.
Say, Terrence, I was just aboot to make some Kraft Dinner.....
Now, to keep up appearances, I pronounce that word as "aboot".
At work, when a customer places an order via web, and I have to call them on it, I say who I am, then I say:
I was just aboot to put in the web order.
So far, no one has correct my pronounciation of that word. So, they must know what I'm talking aboot.

Some of those questions seem very strange. Is there anyone who says "soot," "root," "boot" etc. so that they all rhyme? Same with "good" "hood" and "food"--who would say all of those so that they'd rhyme? And what is "two letter o's"? |

@ Terrapin Station
Do you say look and luke to rhyme? Some do, some don't.
If you say the two o's in look then it does rhyme with luke.
Good food and hood should rhyme but I think for most they don't.
I do say root boot loot and soot to rhyme but for me foot doesn't.
I think some Scottish say foot to rhyme with loot root boot.
Some people change the letter r to the letter h. I do that with some words.

I say those words as pass, passley, passnip and spass. Some words I say the letter r as the letter h. I don't say pasta with the letter r after the vowel a. I think some Americans do. I say garage as garidge. I say message as messidge. I don't say entourage and massage with the letter r after the vowel a.
Do you say Tottenham as Totnum or Tot-ten-ham?

Joker's Wilde I say about out and lout to rhyme. I say route as root and sometimes as rout. How would you say Tottenham, Birmingham, Nottingham, Moscow, Glasgow, Buckingham? I remember an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch in which Hilda did say oot and aboot. I think a joke due to her being Canadian? Beth Borderick's character Zelda didn't say it the same way. Many pronunciations in Britain differ as well as accents. I don't know how many American or British accents there are. Some accents in Britain can differ a lot.

Is there an R in "idea"?
Is there a K in "ridiculous"?
An A in the middle of "ambulance"?
Is there an H in "aunt"?
Is there only 1 R in "library"?
Should you pronounce the T in often?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, congratulations on trying to mask your poor education.

I have never said either, but if there were a Tottenham, USA, I would call it Totten-ham. If it were an English city, I would call it Totnum. Likewise, I make a distinction between Birmingham, Alabama and Birmingham, England. |

Jokers_Wilde said Apparently, we Canadians pronounce the word "about" as "aboot".
The Canadian about / house / out sound is more that the o and the u are both heard.
the OOT and ABOOT are more parts of the United-Kingdom-speak than Canadian.
Grand-dad was Canadian and my Mom went to school there and picked up the "o-u" sound and when I listen to myself on a tape ... I seem to have inherited it. As an example :Listen to Alex Trebek ....he outs

B.O. always posts after me when he gets a chance. There is a pathetic reason for that.

sugarbiscuits If you don't mind saying .. what part of the world / country are you from ? Professor Henry Higgins might have some difficulty figuring your locale out from merely reading how you say you say certain words. based on parsley = passley Boston or vicinity ?

Catman always pronounces words differently each time he says them just to piss people off.

Are we talking about people from Eastern European countries trying to speak English or something? |
