Pronunciation changes over time. Lower-class chaps like yourself tend to miss letters and syllables. Accent also has quite a bit to do with it. I sound British, despite living on the East coast of Australia my whole life, and I pronounce things very differently to my friends.I pronounce jail and nail as "jayl" and "nayl" not "jay-oll" and "nay-ill"
Left and right, and it depends on the headphone. If they're designed as stereo headphones and your settings are at stereo, it matters.
I do pronounce 'pain' and 'pane' differently, yes. It's an incredibly minor difference, but it's there. I also actually the 't' in 'often' and 'exactly,' which no-one I know does. The 'l' in 'vulnerable' as well. My friends have been remarking on this for more than a decade.
The t's in often and exactly as well as the l in vulnerable are all pronounced in my neck of the woods, I couldn't understand leaving them out, and I've never heard them left out.
I meant the first 'l.' I never hear anyone pronounce it, even though it's not meant to be silent.
I seldom ever hear them pronounced, even on television. Non-Australian television, so it can't just be an Australian thing.
Well, in general, the UK has many more dialects than do their former colonies. Many of these would be pretty unintelligible to those who haven't heard them.
Well, there is a chance you just aren't picking up on them in TV because you are not used to them. People usually hold biases toward their own dialect when hearing others.
People usually pronounce it 'vunnerable.'
Nah, enough of my friends have remarked upon it over the years that I tend to actually pay close attention when I hear one of the aforementioned words. I might miss a few if I'm not really paying attention to the show, but not on DVDs when I actually rewind and have another listen.
Say what?
The t in often is actually a spelling pronounciation - the original pronounciation had it silent.kulade said:
