  • I'll tell you what really annoys me. The word "iron". We pronounce it completely wrong, like it should be spelled "i-urn". This is what makes every last English speaker on Earth, myself included, skanks. We should submit to the monkeys. :)

    Here in the American South (not South America), we pronounce "iron" as "arn"

    You should still submit to the monkeys. :)

    How come we say the word HEARD

    But a man has BEARD its not pronounced BIRD


    Hmmmmmmmm

    I take it you already know
    Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
    Others may stumble, but not you
    On hiccough, thorough, slough, and through.
    Well don't! And now you wish, perhaps,
    To learn of less familiar traps.
    Beware of heard, a dreadful word
    That looks like beard but sounds like bird.
    And dead: it's said like bed, not bead,
    For goodness sake don't call it deed!
    Watch out for meat and great and threat
    (They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
    A moth is not a moth as in mother
    Nor both as in bother, nor broth as in brother,
    And here is not a match for there,
    Nor dear and fear, for bear and pear.
    And then there's dose and rose and lose--
    Just look them up--and goose and choose
    And cork and work and card and ward
    And font and front and word and sword
    And do and go, then thwart and cart,
    Come, come! I've hardly made a start.
    A dreadful Language? Why man alive!
    I learnt it when I was five.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    How come the plural of monkey is 'monkeys' and not 'monkies'??
    Actually, the correct spelling is Monkees.
