How do YOU say it?

With you maw, shove over!

It gets on my wick too as does the " s " added on to vet.

Never heard it pronounced that way but it would certainly grate if I did.

I get annoyed when television presenters say 'thu' instead of 'thee' in front of words beginning with a vowel. It sounds so ugly.

Can we just get back to “Marshmallow” please

I'm as common as muck and say mellow!

Is she confusing the marshmallow sweet stuff with this US performer called Marshmello? Just a thought. ?

My 4 year old DGD would never have heard of this American product (I haven’t!)
Am I really the only person to hear “Marsh mellow”
And why am I pathetic?

Sorry - no “product” !

I say mellow too! ? I’ll never say the word again?

Mallow for me, though our in-laws say mellow and our DGS have followed suit. I quite like it. It sounds a bit old fashioned somehow.

Mellow. Everyone I know says mellow. It perhaps is a regional thing? I live in Derby, East Midlands.

I'm daahn saahf, innit?

I'm with you Maw on the fact that it grates when you hear it. However, if - as some are saying - it is a regional pronounciation, I suppose I'll have to stop trying to correct my wee niece. To me, mallow is the plant and the biscuit. Mellow is how I start the day.

I speak in standard southern English bordering on RP but have Irish ancestry. I say marshmallow with something closer to a short e sound than short a.

The Oxford English Dictionary has two variants for British and American English:

Brit. /ˌmɑːʃˈmaləʊ/ U.S. /ˈmɑrʃˌmɛloʊ/

Maybe that's the reason in my case as American English is much influenced by Irish English.

Flipping heck I never gave it a thought now I am sat here talking to myself
' Do you want a Marshmallow '
' Do you want a Marshmellow '

I have now over thought it and don't know which I usual use. I am discombobulated now for the day , thanks Maw.

I think marshmellow is just 'posh' for marshmallow.
Or it could be connected with the various mellow yellow links.

Marshmallow, for me. Welsh but brought up in Hertfordshire. Some there would say marshmallow, sounds posher? ?

MarshmEllow Grrrrr

No, I've no wish to sound posh whatsoever.
Again, its like Prymark vs Preemark, mygraine vs meegraine, girarffe vs girafff..
