@bkuhn pronounces 'corollary' differently to me. Not saying he's wrong, just different.
about a year ago from mustard-
@andyc How do you pronounce 'jjjudiciary'? ;-)
-
@clacke Jew-dish-ary. You?
-
@clacke Neesh (as in Sheesh). Never ever 'Nitch'.
-
@andyc Wonderful. You are included in my list of "people I love because they pronounce 'niche' properly". As are, I suppose, most brits?
-
@clacke I love you too ;-)
-
@joshix Almost but sounds like 'Core-ree-lairy' to me. I say 'Cor-rol-ary', I think :-)
-
@andyc Ah, now I heard too. I'm not going to say he's wrong, as he's a native speaker and I'm not. The "nitch" people're just wrong, though.
-
@clacke No - not wrong just different. Anyway, I enjoyed the show - don't wish to sidetrack with pronunciation pedantry.
-
@andyc Wrong or different, I reserve the right to cringe. :-)
-
@clacke Yes - there's nothing worse than putting time and effort into a quality podcast for people to start moaning about irrelevant trivia.

@andyc +1

@andyc In my defense, the irrelevant trivia had already reached a point where it wasn't even tangentially connected to RoFB. :-)
-
@clacke Sorry - I wasn't chastising you at all. It was me that started it. I don't want to come over as 'Adolf Hitler' :-)
-
@fontana Sheesh. Or do I mean 'Shitch' ? :-)

@andyc,it's fine if @clacke wants to rant about how I pronounce things on !rantofabkuhn, but @fabsh & I reserve the right to rant about that

@bkuhn Exactly! :D
-
@andyc Probably because you're a Pommie, mate.... ;)
-
@fabsh @fontana, ∃ some lower east coast similarities throughout Jersey, Delaware & to #Baltimore. Those have been hardest to lose.
-
@fontana Car-a-lorry? :D
-
@bkuhn That was a pun, mate! Alas, my brilliance is dulled in these murky environs. EXEUNT
-
@fabsh, I knew you were making a pun. I was attempting to take the joke to the next level, but I think I must have failed. Sorry about that.
-
@bkuhn LOL. Sorry, I didn't get it. I'm too literally-minded sometimes.... ;)
-
@fontana I've decided that you are a militant #prescriptivist, in particular when it comes to New York-related usage.
-
@fontana can anyone other than a prescriptivist have a concept of a "true New York"? (Are you perhaps a #grumpyexpatriate?)
-
@bkuhn Obviously! Just to make things clear, I was ranting about how Americans *except* you pronounce 'niche'. On 'corollary', no opinion.
