    This thread is a joke! Americans lecturing others on the pronunciation of English, hahaha. :D

    By the way @Jewels, you don't pronounce (or write) male as female! :p

    There is no such thing as British English. It is English. As for those who speak American, :rolleyes: well that's something else!

    Two that I've personally had issues with, even though I'm decent at speech.

    Specifically (not pass-cif-cal-ly) 'Spa-cif-ic-al-ly'
    irregardless (not a word).... (just regardless)

    A couple of names:
    Euclid -> You-clid
    Euler -> Oiler
    Riemann -> Ree-man
     
  15. We have a math fan. The pronunciation of Euler is especially strange.

    I like pronouncing pumpkin as punkin :D

    How do you pronounce Cauchy? I say Co-she, but sounds a bit weird.

    As you are Australian it is a wonder you don't pronounce it as Pumpko or Pumpkie. :(
