pronounciation of common words

well yes- but doing so in such a provocative way on several threads at once did make me wonder?

No Im just bored, been at work and I needed some excitement, lol

So is that your entire justification for a totally uncalled-for attack on another member for her choice of words? Not to mention rubbishing the NW, and proposing making refugees work as servants??
Blimey. It is not easy to discern the " tongue in cheek" irony among such a barrage of broadsides.

Not keen on attacking a poster for caller her pooter a pooter, didn't see rubbishing the NW, but I did quite like the servants bit - that was up there with Jonathon Swift.

More foot in mouth than tongue in cheek perhaps.

OK Etheltbags I recently heard someone on the radio using the expression "where there's muck there's brass".
(an expression generally attributed to Yorkshire.

But instead of saying brass (ass as in donkey) she pronounced it as "br-arse". To me it sounded completely wrong, given the whole context of the expression.
What do you do think about such dialect expressions? or would you prefer we all spoke posh.

Laff or larf is either right?
Brass or br-arse.
What is wrong with a notable regional accent clearly enunciated?

Hidge Tha don't miss out t's in't deepest Yorkshire.

I think a regional accent is ok but regional variations of words is not good. Using slang words is fine at home or with friends but at work not so good.
I have to speak well as I mix with all different people at work and it is no good mumbling a Geordie phrase if Im talking to a Londoner etc.
I really do think that an accent is lovely, I love the cockney accent and the Yorkshire accent and some of the slow country burrs of the west country is refreshing to the soul.

Oh so many of these and prostrate instead of prostate ,disinterested when it should be uninterested and a special mention for those who pronounce place names with a foreign accent. And don't start me on quinoa. Food in the NE seems to be fud and film seems to be fillum.

The Sure advert, they pronounce it "shore" I hate it.

How do you pronounce it, Balini?

Where I come from ana, it's pronounce "shoor"

I meant "pronounced"

Oh, well it must be a regional thing then, Balini. We say 'shore' where I live.
