Robert C Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 More than the pronunciation, I'm curious how hearth comes up in your work conversations. Don't know that I've ever heard it spoken. 1
Brian Fowler Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Hearth, earth, and worth are all pronounced the same where I come from, and it's not like Darth.
Cristobal Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 More than the pronunciation, I'm curious how hearth comes up in your work conversations. Don't know that I've ever heard it spoken. At my company, it's the generic term for products like stoves, fireplaces, and the vent pipe used with such.
piranesi Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I demand an Inquisition to purge Fowler and other proponents of the "Worth Doctrine" heresy.
Cristobal Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 He's from Michigan, which pretty much proves me right. 1
Kuetsar Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I'm afraid the general "western U.S." accent disagrees with you, it rhymes with worth. . . 1
Tabe Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I'm afraid the general "western U.S." accent disagrees with you, it rhymes with worth. . .Has nothing to do with accent and everything to do with people simply not knowing how to pronounce it. 1
AxB Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 If there's any doubt on how to pronounce an English word, probably best to ask an Englishman, no? It's pronounced Harth. End of discussion. Pronoucing it Herth, that's just a guy with a lisp discussing funeral cars. 2
S.K.o.S. Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 If there's any doubt on how to pronounce an English word, probably best to ask an Englishman, no? Well, not always. There's "aluminum". 2
AxB Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 If there's any doubt on how to pronounce an English word, probably best to ask an Englishman, no? Well, not always. There's "aluminum". The American pronunciation is the same as the American spelling. Which are both wrong. It's Aluminium.
JRGoldman Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I couldn't find an app thread in the gaming folder, so I thought here would be the next best place, but has anyone downloaded 'somebody' yet? I think the whole idea is really cool, and I plan on making my tomorrow about going around and finishing off a bunch of floating messages.
Brian Fowler Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Didn't we all learn from Henry Higgins that Englishmen are terrible at English? 1
Johnny Sorrow Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Didn't we all learn from Henry Higgins that Englishmen are terrible at English?That, and also it's entertaining watching two old queens play dress up with a young girl. 2
Red is Dead Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Hearth like earth. get it right, colonials, or we'll take over again... 1
Ramsey Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I went to the gym for the first time in years this afternoon. I've already dropped a bunch of weight with diet and exercise at home so i figured I'd add a couple of gym days to my routine. Yeah, that was humbling... I'm going to hurt tomorrow...
Buy Me a Burrito Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Go back today. It's the only thing that will make the pain get better. 1
Red is Dead Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 There's christmas cookies out in the office already...
Ramsey Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 As a guy who pays very close attention to speech and voice (radio dj and voice over guy) I had to analyze my own regional accent so that I could turn it down when needed. Western US, Idaho in particular features long I (eye) sounds and hard R's. Fuck my arms hurt...
Tabe Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 There's christmas cookies out in the office already... It's OK - they're just the leftovers from last year pulled back out of the cabinet. 1
Red is Dead Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 There's christmas cookies out in the office already... It's OK - they're just the leftovers from last year pulled back out of the cabinet. Feeeeed the woooooooooooooorld, let them know its Sep-tem-ber. Sing it with me, kids...
driver Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Hearth is pronounced like Darth around here, but could be pronounced a different way up where der Yoopers roam.
Greggulator Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 This is from a few year's ago but I just thought about it today. It's one of my favorite things ever.My wife and I and two of our friends went to the Pennsylvania State Renaissance Fare.We were about two miles from the entrance. And what do we see?There is a car with a flat tire on the side of the road. There is a woman standing next to the car. And there is a man, dressed as a knight, changing her tire. CHIVALRY. 3
