Saucy pronunciation derail about sauce - Page 2 - Politics and Economics

We absolutely do pronounce the T. The word most murdered by Trumplandians is bouy. This is correctly pronounced boy. Hearing it pronounced bowie is so tilting.

The American word 'filet' is pronounced 'fill-ay', like the French, and the English word 'fillet' is pronounced 'fill-it.'

No, we don't. We say "boo" like ghosts, and "ee" like the fifth letter of the alphabet. The first syllable of "Bowie" we pronounce like bow and arrow.

Sriracha is sometimes called rooster sauce.

I'm saying there is an accepted, correct pronunciation in USA#1, and it happens to be identical to the one used in the UK because Worcestershire is a proper noun that refers to that specific county, regardless of where the sauce is made, sold or consumed.

Right but if there were a company called "British Aluminum" then the correct pronunciation would be different in Britain and USA#1

That's because the British spelling and pronunciation of aluminum is objectively stupid.

Canadians have it best, we copied the correct parts of British English (most) and the correct parts of American English (less, but significant)

Can we start a pronunciation containment thread maybe, and stop derailing this one?

This. Also, aluminium isn't special and needs to get the **** over itself and be like every other element.

Pro-NOUN-ciation, and no, we can't. We can start a whinge thread for whinging about it like a whinger, though.

If US Americans all agreed to say Worcestershire different than the Brits that wouldn't make the US pronunciation wrong.

Agree that aluminum is probably a bad example as the English are just straight up objectively wrong there.

This conversation isn't just a UK vs US thing. Worcester is the name of a significant American city and I'd say at least 80% of Americans have no clue how it's pronounced.
