So I’m constantly having arguments with the guys at work here about the pronunciation of the word castle.
I’ve always pronounced it car-sel, but everybody here pronounces it cass-el. It drives me mad! Am I in the wrong here? Surely not!
I also hate it when people pronounce off, “orf”.
Man, my ex used to say cassel all the damn time. I think it’s a qld thing. Drives me nuts too
Yep its a QLD thing!
Andy I think it would be a deal breaker for me!
My dad says sonny for SONY - kills me every time!
Car-sel for me!!!!!
I think that the Yanks pronounce it the other way!!!!!
Although, if ya go by the dictionary it could very well be the Seppo way is the correct way?????
My old mans a Pom, he says Cast-L. He grew up in the motherland of the English language.
Is your old man from the north of England, Azz?
From what I can gather, some of the northerners say it cassel.
It’s weird that you guys say it’s a QLD thing. I was sure it must be a VIC thing.
You should hear the arguments Michelle and I have over pronunciation. Silly Canadians.
Car-sel for me too.
Andy I think it would be a deal breaker for me!
It is quite funny what actually does or does not end up as a deal breaker. Pretty sure on the right person you’d let that one slide…
Michelle says Nissan like knee-sarn. It’s ridiculous.
Hahahaha. That’s funny as.
Although I have to say, my brother is married to a Canadian, and she now pronounces some words in the Australian way (struggling to think of an example) and it actually sounds weird hearing her say it like that.
Car-Sel for me.
anyone pronounce Hyundai as Hun-Day? Like in the Kanye song - Golddigger?
Michelle called me when I was out shopping one evening and asked me to bring home tomato sauce for what she was cooking that night. I thought it was a weird ingredient to be cooking with and also thought we already had some in the fridge, but none the less I decided to buy her a bottle of tomato sauce. I get home, empty the shopping bags and give her the bottle of sauce. “Why did you buy that? We have a bottle in the fridge” she tells me. I carefully remind her about her request for tomato sauce. “No, that’s ketchup you idiot. I need sauce for pasta” she say. “Ohhhh you mean PASTA SAUCE…” I concluded. Mind you, this happened in Australia and she is well aware of what I call tomato sauce.
Our pasta didn’t taste very good that night.
Hahahaha jez
Car-sel for me!
