How do YOU say it?

Marshmallow. That is it.

I was born in the south, grew up in the Midlands, spent most of my adult life in Yorkshire, now back in the Midlands.
I don’t have any particular accent most of the time, but if I am talking with someone with a Yorkshire accent, I find myself doing the same.
But I always use correct grammar, which is more important than pronunciation and its regional variations.

Is it just me who keeps humming 'They call me Mellow Yellow' after reading this thread?

Think Theoddbird got out of bed the wrong side this morning.
This just made me chuckle.

Surely the whole point of Pedants Corner is that we can be "Pedantic" . grannysue05 only you think you don't have an accent, other people will you think you do as no one is without an accent (no offence intended). I was offered whipped cream & Marshmellows on my hot chocolate yesterday, I declined both the cream & the Marshmallows.

Did anyone else hear some woman being interviewed on Radio 4 earlier this week, talking about the revival of a children's tv programme that apparently was called "Creckerjeck" ?

No, I didn't phoenix but I am just wondering if she is a Kiwi?
although, if so, she may have called it Crickerjick!

I love marshmallows!

Marshm*a*llow:

Theoddbird -what gives you or anybody the right to be so abusive just because you are behind the screen of anonymity?

Oh and don't come out from behind that sofa for a while

What is this - national let's get MawBroon day?
The point of Pedants' Corner is that is ALL pretty trivial but your personal abuse is not.

You can say eether I can say either, Mellow Mallow,
Let’s call the whole thing off?

Southerners like me say marshmellow

Marshmallow for me.... please!

MissAdventure I'm 'daahn saahf' as well, yer carn't get any furver saahf than we are wivout gett'n yer feet wet!

Oh for goodness sakes.... In the UK we have so many dialects/accents depending on the part of the country you were brought up in. Accept this. Oh and don't come out from behind that sofa for a while. I could say that where I was brought up it was called a settee by the way. These things are not important. Get a life...

I'm from the Black Country and say 'mellow' - and almond
Round here the shop is 'Prymark', we keep the car in the 'garridge' (when did garage have an h in it?) walk on grass, nor grahss, take a bath, not a barth, and wear glasses, not glarsses. Sadly, my eldest AC moved south, and has gradually been lured to the dark side of pronunciation...
My conversations with DGC are interesting, as their family eat lunch and dinner, and I (of course) eat dinner and tea - which has led to a few misunderstandings..!
Isn't the English language wonderful?

Oh dear, we all say "Mashed Marlows" - which is how my DD1 used to pronounce the squishy things enjoyed at the end of the BBQ

It's al-mond but I say ol-mond.

It's mallow , marshmallow, a sweet bite originally made from the root of marsh mallow plants which grew in...yes...marshes.

Never heard that but if I did I'd be bound to correct it, probably by saying something like is that a bird? Never heard of it, and follow that with the correction.

Mallow in Scotland and from my mum who was north England

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

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

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

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.

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
