say it properly

[ilaya]

im getting well pissed off with how newsreaders in UK pronounce the name Nicholas Sarkozy... in a french accent. Nicola Sar ko zeee.... FUCK off will ya.
its Nicholas Sar Cosy. We aint french so stop saying his name like that you fucking idiots, we know he is french.

I noticed the Fukushima power plants name got changed as well.. was once FUCK A SHIMA.. now its FUK USHIMA.

whats next? having to say Wayne Rooney in a scouse accent everytime he's in the news? or Billy Connolly in a husky Glaswegian accent?

bollocks to it

 

[old.user4556]

Newsreaders also make a point of saying "an historic" with a particularly strong "an". Whilst I suppose "an" would be right before an "h" from silent H times, they still pronounce the "an" and the "h" strongly. Sounds stupid.

whats next? The BBC 10 o'clock news....presented by the Chuckle Brothers...

TBH can't say its ever bothered me. I really don't want to see our flagship BBC 10 o clock news dumbed down US Micky Mouse style. Thats what Sky News is for.

Yeah and did you know the French don't call their country France.
I mean I was like 30 before I knew that country names are in the ear of the listener.

 

[Gwadien]

For fuck sake, I just tripped up the stairs

Fucking BBC bastards.

 

[Mabs]

fucking pathetic

On that note, irony achieved since it's fu-ku-shi-ma.

 

[DaGaffer]

Do you pronounce Renault with a silent "t"? You do? Well shut up then.

 

[Raven]

Pile of shit wouldn't work with a silent T

 

[Lamp]

isn't the correct pronounciation "fukushma"? - all one syllable and drop the "i"??

 

[Ch3tan]

They are saying it properly. What an ignorant post by the op.

 

[Vasconcelos]

isn't the correct pronounciation "fukushma"? - all one syllable and drop the "i"??

how can you pronounce fukushma in just one syllable withouot choking to death?

 

[old.Tohtori]

isn't the correct pronounciation "fukushma"? - all one syllable and drop the "i"??

Correct, aka japanese way, is to say each syllable as they are written. Much like Finnish in that sense.

Can hear it here.

Besides the futile ignorant rant, what is this "well pissed off"? Is it some water well that you pissed in? our out of? I'm pretty sure that's not proper UK English (notice the correct use of proper here). Something along the likes of "rather pissed off" or "very pissed off" would fit better here.
Q.E.D.

 

[Ch3tan]

Heh, I hadn't noticed that Ingaf. Maybe the original post and the title were a bad attempt at irony?

Actually, it is proper English. "He was well happy with the result" Its a regional thing.

This thread has decended into condescending, self righteous aids. Good 'old FH style .

What did you expect given the original post?

 

[old.user4556]

True mate, true.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Saying mate always sounds like you want to do it to the other person

 

[old.user4556]

Maybe where you live

Something being "a regional thing" doesn't make it proper English. Don't think "innit" can be found in the merriam-webster or oxford whatever your preference, yet it's a well-imbued regional saying.

I think "LOL" is now in the OED

 

[Job]

Sorry I can't resist someone telling you something is or isn't proper English or grammar is the equivalent of them telling you you should wear flares this summer

...waits for someone to say pacifically instead of spacifically and ignite my pronounciation rage; but until then I shall just enjoy this thread taking a spiraling dive into madness and anger from my sofa with a white fluffy blanky wrapped round me *snuggle*

 

[old.user4556]

I've met some very intelligent people in my life who have the worst grammar. I've heard 'pacifically' a lot, does it mean something that's related to the Pacific Ocean?

 

[Ezteq]

haha yeah 'pacifically designed to enhance your posture' Fucking What??? If I sit in the ocean I won't get a bad back??? OR do you mean SPecifically as in designed for an actual purpose?!!

...omg you set me off, dammit!!
