Big Beat Steve Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) I shudder at the thought of how this will come out when pronounced with that nasal, chewing-gummy drawl common in certain quarters ...

As if the clients here were THAT unaware of the fact that an English-based word ought to be pronounced passably English-y Not sure of how that product was marketed in France back then where this kind of clashes of linguistic cultures would have posed much bigger problems but still ...

JSngry Posted December 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Nobody on the commercials pronounce it the way I pronounce it. I have a very personal relationship with that sound. I am stronger than TV in my own mind. I am. I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 So how do you pronounce 'canteen'? Same? Different? What do you think about THAT word? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Well, it "ought" to be pronounced the same way, except for the first letter, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted December 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 In a right world, Panteen would be Liquid Prell-ified. But this ain't in no ways no kind of no right world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
