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?

We'll change it just as soon as someone points out why Brits think there's an "f" sound in "lieutenant." What? I've never heard of this. I'm British and I pronounce it normally I hear it occasionally. Like "lef-tenant." I wanna say I've heard it from Martin Freeman. Lol wtf Ive heard that as well.

WindMouseHanpan 01/18/18 10:27:50 AM #48:	ROBANN_88 posted... While we're on the subject of pronounciation, why do Brits say "saw" with an R? They seem to usually pronounce the letter "A" as "er" or "eer", or just an r sound, depending on the word, rather than "ay" like America does. So for instance "Idea" would sound like "Ideer". Which I think is where the "I have no eye deer" joke comes from. I think this usually happens if the letter comes at the end of a sentence, or near the end, though. In a word like "Bake" or "Rake" they pronounce it the same way as in American English. If anyone here's British, could you explain and clarify if I'm wrong on anything? --- Come check out Iido's Gaming Den for let's plays 'n other stuff!
