Does everyoe here know what biscuits are? Kuchen?

[Si]

I'm still on the Kuchen pronunciation thing. It is DEFINATELY >>koo-kuh<<.

Sadie says I pronounce it correctly. So does Jackie. And we (three kings of orient) are right. Yes we are.

Oh, yes but ofcourse you are right
I guess you had German in school for five years too, and I guess you know how to pronounce it better than Germans themselves.
It's ok, CeCe
I believe you, I really do

Good job, Si

Bwahaha!

No, it's just . . . yeah. That's how we pronounce it. That's how everyone around HERE pronounces it. You and Matt pronounce it like that 'cause you're European. We don't live in Europe. I'm sorry, we don't.

[Si]

Good job?



Uhm, yeah
So, bc I do not live in the States, I should just pronounce everything in Dutch, even if it's written in English...?
Do you think you would understand me if I did that while talking to you?
I don't think it's an excuse to pronounce words incorrectly if you're not from that particular country.........

[edit]And, doughnuts, donuts
*sigh
I like those...[/edit]

Doughnut spelled doughnut is the correct way, because . . . technically it's a dough nut, although it's more of an ''O,'' rather than a nut. Yeah. BUt, commercially, it's donut, 'cause it cost less to print it than spelling it fully and correctly.

That is all.

Maybe they should call them DoughO's! =)

But .. um .. koo-kuh .. that's just not right =)

lol. Well I think I know mainly because my ex girlfriend's family have a German origin and her nan used to randomly talk German all the time. I just remember how she pronounced it .. which has got to be the right way.

Interestingly, on the flipside .. although Television was originally a french word, us Brits pronounce it in our own way .. same with a load of other words like badminton and .. erm .. others I don't remember.

I guess this is what happens when a foreign word gets incorporated into a language because it's commonly used.

How you pronounce things differs depending upon where you're from.

See, I exlpained to Matt how people in ENgland (some people, anyway) pronounce TERRITORY ''Tair-ih-tree" rather than the way Americans pronounce it: ''Tair-ih-tor-ree.'' So yes, word pronunciation definately depend on where you've grown up and where your speech skills have developed.

EDIT: And it's not just Cece and to of her friends that pronounce it like that. It's anyone that lives in or around Cece's nighborhood, including the bakery people. :\

ok, you are right
you are absolutely right, I believe you
You're right!!!

YOU'RE R I G H T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lmao .. something tells me Si no longer cares =)

[Si]

Nope
I do not

if you want to pronounce it the right way, and the right way being the way people from that particular country pronounce it, then don't say the way you pronounce it is the way everybody THERE pronounces it that way

*sigh

Well I guess you'd win another, in which case you can start making a green paper clip chain, which is just .. well .. beyond the hope of most mortals.
