How do you pronounce the second syllable of pajamas?
. with the vowel in jam
. with the vowel in palm

I pronounce both the same way :S

In spanish we make two traslations of movies, books (books just sometimes).. etc one for Hispanic-America and other for Spain.
Even spanish authors are sometimes translated into American-spanish and viceversa.
(I think is very stupid to just change a few words of a book)

Do you sometimes think while reading a book or watching a movie something like "this english sounds very strange to me" to the point that you feel uncomfortable with it?

 

[Leoreth]

Really? How do you pronounce them?

 

[Hojsimpson]

Hmm with the vowel in "Das" (The german word)
Should I correct the way I pronounce those words?

 

[Leoreth]

I pronounce "palm" with a long "ah" sound, like yawn. "Jam" on the other hand like "dam".

This is correct. I'm surprised that no one's corrected you before...

 

[Leoreth]

You mean hojsimpson?

You'd be surprised how easy it is to speak fluent English without ever communicating verbally with a native speaker.

 

[DC123456789]

Yeah, of course.

 

[Oregon Lee]

How about been? I pronounce it ben. How hefv ye' ben is how I phonetically talk.
I say jam like dam, and pajamas like pah JAM ahs.
I mean, if you watch the show Portlandia that's pretty much it.

I say "you guys". Unless I get angry or passionate and I say "you all"
Small grey bugs that roll up into a ball I call roly polys.
Small freshwater lobster I call crawdads.
I pronounce aunt like ant if it's connected to a name, like Aunt Nessy. Otherwise, I pronounce it ont.
I pronounce caramel like car-mul


And taking that test, I was really disturbed to know that the South has drive through liquor stores.

New commit:
- victory screen width adjusted to screen resolution (had to make space for the UHV titles)

For the record:
Been = bin
Aunt = awnt (the idea of a different pronounciation when attached to a name is completely new to me)
Pajamas with "palm" in it

Heritage isn't gone, at least.

But I just started up a Khmer game for the first time in months and I'm excited to be back.

 

[Leoreth]

Welcome back!

And taking that test, I was really disturbed to know that the South has drive through liquor stores.

I was petrified to learn that there is a) such a thing, and b) I found Ohio firmly shaded in blue upon answering "I've never heard of such a thing". Seriously, what?

 

[Oregon Lee]

That's a good thing. That means Ohio doesn't have any.

 

[Mouthwash]

That's a good thing. That means Ohio doesn't have any.

Uh, no.

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

My style of speech is unsurprising.

 

[The Diocletian]

Didn't see that coming.

Oddly, this tested pinned me in Indiana. Close enough.

 

[BenZL43]

this is my map

This is my second attempt, though. Royals gave me this quiz months ago via VM but I didn't save the map.

 

[The Diocletian]

Oh, we have drive-through stores here by the way, they're all over the place, but they sell more than liquor...

 

[need my speed]

Is it me, or does the latest SVN not work at all? I get a blank technology screen I go in-game. It's probably my fault, but I have no idea how or why; everything has a green checkmark and I even downloaded the whole mod again in its entirety.

 

[Fresol]

You can revert to 701 for now. Leoreth is working on it.
