Someone was telling me about Hermy-own in Harry Potter, and it took me a minute to realize it was Hermione.

wrote last edited by [email protected]There are two main groups, those who learned their foundational language mainly orally, and those who mainly learned by reading. Those who were readers would read Hermy-own or Hermy-onn because that would match how other similar spellings are pronounced. I was an ambitious reader very early on, so my pronounciations tend to follow spelling rules rather than actual practice

Still won't help if your locality uses a different pronunciation.

What about words that everybody pronounces wrong, such as “nougat”? No, it’s not “new-git”, it’s “new-gah”. I even heard “nugget” from somebody not long ago.

Or you can look up how to pronounce it. The IPA and often audio pronunciations aren't that hard to find, unless you speak a more obscure language
So many of the audio pronunciations are computer generated, I used to like IPA but then I stopped drinking so it doesn't really help any more.

International phonetic alphabet :3.. though trying to pronounce some of the sounds in it does make you want the other kind of IPA lol

It's not hyperbole. Lithe communication is the epitome of communication.

American here: I've never heard it pronouned any other way.

Conversely, just fucking go for it. Who even cares? Have a laugh about it!
I think mispronouncing weird words you've worked into your vocab is a nice middle ground between sounding insufferable and approachable. Yes I used ameliorate but I also mangled the hell out of it, so how smart could I really be?

if everybody's pronouncing it "wrong" nobody's pronouncing it wrong.

Not true. We have exactly one word that is pronounced that way.

Do you also hear Caramel pronounced as Carmel? I hate that one...

wrote last edited by [email protected]That one depends on the person. Sometimes it's "care-mul" but others sometimes annunciate the word "carAmel" properly. Especially those in and around Carmel. Because it is not candy.

a service that could explain how it's pronounced, AND WHY - etymology and local vernacular - would be amazing

I hate this weird mix between IPA and Latin letters. It's not how this works
