Topic	why do americans pronounce colonel as kernul?
pegusus123456 01/18/18 4:28:41 AM #6:	A long time ago, colonel had two different spellings and pronunciations. The word was originally Italian and French "borrowed" it, changing it from colonello to coronnel. Both versions made it into English with writers eventually deciding to go with the original Italian spelling. The pronunciations competed for a while longer and eventually settled on the French pronunciation. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?
