How do YOU say it?

What about almond. I say armond but my husband says olmond.

Nothing to do with accents though absent, this is effectively a different word (or mispronunciation, )
as I said before like “chimbly” and “skellington” or “mischeevious”

Marshmallow for me - born in Liverpool, lived in North Wales, Kent and now West Midlands and not heard it pronounced as anything else.

Thank you Oldgoat for that - I thought I was the only one getting uptight about thu/thee, even when explaining it to others who use 'thee' they don't always get it!

She's 4...does it matter? Have you told her the way you think it's correct? Sometimes children have problems with certain pronunciations. My DGD age 5 also says marshmellow, but probably because no one has told her differently. What really bugs me is when people say Tescos!

Of course I have told her (gently) , her brothers (8and7) have told her, but she is adamant.
Not making a thing of it with her though, I wouldn’t be so unkind.

It's mallow in my book.

Surprised that you all use or hear the word enough to notice! Not in my everyday vocabulary but maybe I don’t see my GC regularly enough. Don’t recognise this thu thing either (do you say eyether or eether??) Mallow anyway, and armond.

The one I struggle with is 'envelope'!

My family used to have Syrup of Marshmallow when we had a bad cough (as a throat-soother with olive oil and rum!) when I was a child. And as a young mum I did make a type of marshmallow confection from this plant. It's always therefore been mallow for me as the connection to the plant was very strong.
I think the "e" version is from America- maybe they also pronounce the plant that way over the pond?

winterwhite 'Thu' as in 'Thu apple' rather than 'thee' apple.
Better get off this thread though or I will be told off by the OP for going 'off thread' again

Regarding "the" - it looks as though it has several correct pronunciations - but the 1st one is "thuh"

I'm Ireland. Its definitely Preemark.
Marshmallow doesn't have an e. Why pronounce it mellow.

I'm in Ireland.

I can't imagine being annoyed at how my four year old grandchild pronounced a word .Oh my days ....

Sorry oldgoat when did I “tell you off”?
Apologies.

I wasn’t annoyed at my DGD - just asking, the clue is in the thread title.

You say poteyto I say potahto, let's call the whole thing 'orf.

And while I'm at it, who took the 'd' out of avocado!

I say 'mellow'.

Wonder where the 'marsh' comes from (soft and squashy?)

I'm from the South East

The Americans say 'mullow' so it could be worse

I've never heard it pronounced 'mallow' though. But then I rarely discuss them and don't eat them. Sickly things.

These little girls can be adamant about a lot of things! We found that a lot of her alternative pronunciations changed when she started school. Although her brother who is 10 still calls the Prime Minister, Choriza May!

Marshmallow here, a mixture if East Midlands and South East but always marshmallow.

Just to adulterate the post. The thing that grates on me is when I hear presenters on TV saying somethink rather than something

Oh my! I had a German student once and he said "English is so illogical!" I said, "what about German, you have masculine and feminine words so that a table is feminine and a chair is masculine, etc, and you have to match the word to a feminine or masculine pronoun such as "das" or "die" or "der " whereas in English all our chairs and tables and everything are genderless and we only put "the" in front. That shut him up.
I say marshmAllow and I'm sure that is right.

Just to wind some up further in my family a child once pronounced it as munch mallow and that word has now stuck I'm afraid

Everyone on TV seems to say Island instead of Ireland, Febuary instead of FebRuary

Don't really mind how it's pronounced as long as no one tries to make me eat the horrid things,

Mallow in Scotland and from my mum who was north England
