Robert C 1,935 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 14,334 Posted August 30, 2014 Hearth, earth, and worth are all pronounced the same where I come from, and it's not like Darth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cristobal 8,217 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kuetsar 1,683 Posted August 30, 2014 I'm afraid the general "western U.S." accent disagrees with you, it rhymes with worth. . . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tabe 1,985 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxB 8,255 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S.K.o.S. 1,254 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The American pronunciation is the same as the American spelling. Which are both wrong. It's Aluminium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRGoldman 2,093 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ramsey 1,716 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...

Ramsey 1,716 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greggulator 3,207 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
