Pronounced : Ter_mur_ick..

Not: Toom_er_ick

Lots of mispronunciation out there, I wonder why this one gets flubbed
so much.

I have been complaining of that lately. It was bothering me so much that I
mentioned it to someone who was complaining of something similar. She then
asked me how it should be pronounced because her whole family said it that
way. Who started that? And why?

Beats the heck out of me, perhaps folks just have a problem with
sequential consonants.

But it happens a lot, no question.

I like this one better:

Pronounced: Mass_Ah_Chew_Setts

Not: Mass_ah_Two_Setts

Pronounced: Woos_Tah_Shire_Sauce

Not: Wor_Chester_Shire_Sauce

I am not a Massachusetts native but I was trained by one

Another two that I hear a lot are "fith" for fifth, and "ohways" for always.

Well, I think it partly did. I know I hear regional variations which
are sometimes explained in this way. Or maybe that's just an 'Ossy'
thing (the way Americans pronounce Aussie). Just joking...

Laziness. Most people cannot be bothered with reading the word
and if they have remembering it properly. French cooking terms
are often mangled, more often I would say than German or Italian,
although there is no reason for it.

Oh, truth hurts, doesn't it?

http://www.societyforqualityeducatio...s/hammerly.pdf

The fact that French Immersion (FI) is a linguistic failure may be
the best-kept secret in Canadian education. But why shouldn’t it be a
failure? How can a single teacher, who may not even be a native speaker
of French, “immerse” 30 students?
It has been known since 1975 that there are serious problems with
FI. A 1976 article by Irène Spilka showed that the original St. Lambert
group — which FI advocates and “researchers” (basically the same people)
touted as “highly-successful” — was doing very poorly, with one or
more errors in nearly 53% of their simple sentences. Moreover, Spilka
found no significant progress in grammaticality from grade two to grade
six and a growing, rather than a decreasing, gap between FI students and
their Francophone peers.
In 1985, a group of students interviewed as they were completing
13 years in FI had an almost identical percentage (53.8%) of incorrect
sentences. And in the first five months of 1995, FI students who completed
my bilingual French Immersion Test did very poorly indeed — an
average of 4.42 errors per sentence and one error-free sentence (out of
50), plus use of the wrong gender with 6.46 out of 20 very common
nouns.
As I have been saying for 13 years, FI students graduate speaking
and writing rapidly in “Frenglish”, not French. Frenglish uses French
words but mostly English structures. Frenglish might be “cute” at age
six, but it is an embarrassment at age 20, as well as an impediment to
holding any significant bilingual job (it would be senseless for an employer
to put someone who speaks or writes so poorly in charge of the
telephone or correspondence). The FI/education establishment, however,
has kept these facts from the public. They have acknowledged that there
are serious problems with FI, but only in obscure research reports and
other such publications. In public, they continue to defend and promote
immersion nationally and internationally. A major scandal would have
exploded a long time ago if the establishment weren’t so successful in
holding a tight lid over the situation.
FI fails for many reasons, most of them related to “progressive”
(really regressive) educational views. Among the progressive trends that
have affected FI are the beliefs that everything should be as easy as
possible
for the students (not much effort, no drills or systematic practice);
that the correction of errors shouldn’t be stressed because it hurts
selfesteem;
that creativity (even with what one doesn’t control) is central to
learning; and that communication, however defective, is more important
Organization for Quality Education, September 1995, Page 2
than accuracy and mastery. Under such conditions, excellence is impossible,
dysfunctionality inevitable.
Thus, the learning of a second language in the classroom is done
in FI in the relaxed, unsystematic way in which very young children acquire
their mother tongue at home. But the learners and the learning
conditions are very different. Native language acquisition conditions
cannot be recreated years later, within four classroom walls, with older
children who already know a language, are more cognitively mature, and
are not surrounded by native speakers of the target language. The result
of this lack of fit is Frenglish.
FI is hopeless. It cannot be patched up because it is fundamentally
flawed, as it is based on incorrect assumptions. FI puts the communicative
cart before the linguistic control horse. Adding several hours a week
of grammar to FI —however that may be done — won’t help, for whatever
good it might do will be destroyed by the constant encouragement
of premature free communication the rest of the week.

A variation of that is common along the Appalachian and Smokey
Mountains. You know. Thataways where both hither, yonders, and
widdershins are directions or distances depending on use.

I live widdershins of Pauls Gas station (this assumes you know the
direction the person was arriving from. IE: I am closer than Pauls Gas
Station). Unspoken due to use of word is closeby.

I am hither of Pauls Gas Station (I am a bit past it). Unspoken due to
word is close by it.

I am yonders of Pauls Gas Stations (I am in that general area but don't
know where you are arriving from so head to Paul's Gas station and ask
but i think a bit past it). Unspoken but assumed, fairly near it.

Yonder round is more deliberate and means 'I'm close to there' as in
'I'm yonder round Pauls Gas Station'.

It's an accent. They vary.

It's like I missed a spelling word in 7th grade as we moved to
Charlottesville. I even asked the teacher to repeat the sentence. 'I
drove my car up the root'. I was wondering why someone would do that
but she meant *route*.

Here in REAL hillybilly territory it's pronounced rout, but always
with the designation number and whether it's County or State, and
expressed written as in Cty Rte 23, or St Rte 24.

Is there any USAian dialect that doesnt drop the 'h' in herb and
pronounce it 'erb'? That's the one that grates on my nerves.

The word came down almost unmodified from Old Sumerian ("gamun"), and then we screw it up in our generation.

(An old spelling of "turmeric" is "tarmarat".)
