Do you hiss or do you shoo?

Why do we say leftenant, not lieutenant?

shoo. (I thought this was going to be about scaring cats out of the garden)

If we say shedule, why don't we say shool? By analogy with skool, skedule should be OK.

I thought schedule was the English way of pronouncing it, while it's 'skedule' in America.

Have heard an Australian or two iss yuing! Skedule is very American.

Much of this developed from Mrs Thatcher's elocution lessons when she was aspiring to be PM. She never lost her lower middle class vowels, just dropped her voice a few tones. Iss-yu, involved with a long o and so on.

I used to know someone who always talked about Christ-mas, emphasising the T.

Schedule or skedule? Controversy on con-tro (stress) - versy? For (stress) mid-able or for-mid (stress-) -able?

I say aitch for h, but lately a lot of people seem to haitch!

As long as people understand what I say it doesn't matter too much, but that ultra-careful pronunciation (have you got a tiss-yew?) gets up my nose too, Gk.

PS not bothered about how other people say them. There are bound to be variations.

Ishoo. Appreciate with a soft c. ChrisTian. Right mixed bag(s), me!

Not sure but I think it is American. I'm with your GK
