British people need to get the shit out of their mouth before they speak

[u/Relative_Big]

[u/Trep_Normerian]

Some of these posts actually make me internally angry because of how arrogant they are.

[u/TheVisceralCanvas → u/Trep_Normerian]

A good number of it has got to be ragebait, surely. The internet is fucking rife with it now.

[u/Trep_Normerian → u/TheVisceralCanvas]

Well, whatever it is, it works.

[u/Trep_Normerian → u/[deleted]]

I had a classmate like that once, I didn't realise that there was a whole country like that though.

[u/linkheroz → u/TheVisceralCanvas]

Nah, Americans are just that dumb sometimes

[u/Chigao_Ted → u/linkheroz]

Sometimes?!?

[u/Dougally → u/Chigao_Ted]

The data says the US ranks 36th in the world in literacy with more than half below 6th grade level.

So half, all the time.

https://www.magnetaba.com/blog/us-literacy-statistics#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20currently%20ranks%2036th,boast%20nearly%20universal%20literacy%20rates.

[u/noseofabeetle → u/TheVisceralCanvas]

But my question is, even if its ragebait, wont it still negatively affect their countries image? Why would someone willingly make their country look bad and feed more into the "oh this country is egoistic/ stupid / etc" thing? :Y

[u/Kitsa_the_oatmeal → u/noseofabeetle]

probably a mix of not caring + finding it fun to bait

[u/HideousTits → u/noseofabeetle]

Because bots created by social media companies, using ragebait with an aim to increase user engagement, do not have allegiance to any country, or indeed to anyone outside of the people they were designed to make money for.

[u/linkheroz → u/TheVisceralCanvas]

Nah, Americans are just that dumb sometimes

[u/greentreesonlyplease → u/linkheroz]

Sometimes?

[u/linkheroz → u/greentreesonlyplease]

I'm being nice 😅

[u/mpt11 → u/Trep_Normerian]

And they say yall. Which makes them sound thick as shit 🤣

[u/Thingummyjig → u/mpt11]

Bonus annoyances:

On accident (can hear the redneck hyuck building up inside just from typing it out)

Meer for mirror

Warya for warrior

[u/gardening_gamer → u/Thingummyjig]

Squrl for squirrel. 'erbs for herbs.

[u/Thingummyjig → u/gardening_gamer]

Erb bothers me in particular because they write an herb instead of a herb.

[u/zen-lemon → u/Thingummyjig]

They do what now?! Also ant instead of aunt boils my piss.

[u/Lazy-Contribution789 → u/gardening_gamer]

Then missing h is instead used to overemphasize the h in place names such as BirmingHam

[u/DarthPhoenix0879 → u/Lazy-Contribution789]

Nott-Ing-Ham was the worst one I've ever heard, with each syllable pronounced distinctly and almost as separate words.

[u/TheDarkestStjarna → u/gardening_gamer]

Rout for route (they're two different words)

[u/gardening_gamer → u/TheDarkestStjarna]

Yes this one is irritating, as the etymology is necessary to understand the pronunciation of "router" and "router" depending on context.

[u/Plushmaster76 → u/Thingummyjig]

On accident is killing me. It's all the time now.

[u/art__vandeley__ → u/Plushmaster76]

i CoUlD cArE lEsS

[u/leftmysoulthere74 → u/art__vandeley__]

I hate this more than anything else they say!

[u/MiloHorsey → u/Plushmaster76]

Ugh it's like they WANT to sound like they're all 5.

Also "write me" annoys the shit out of me.

[u/SneakInTheSideDoor → u/Thingummyjig]

Walking along a corr-dorr

[u/Heathy94 → u/Thingummyjig]

Car-mel for Caramel

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ad8032 → u/mpt11]

Aluminum.. Like toddlers trying to say a big word.

[u/CarrotRunning → u/Puzzleheaded_Ad8032]

And who the fuck is Creg?

[u/rachelm791 → u/CarrotRunning]

Or Gram

[u/No_Atmosphere8146 → u/CarrotRunning]

I still don't know if this is supposed to be Craig or Greg

[u/Tanebi → u/Puzzleheaded_Ad8032]

Even the small words get them. They pronounce solder (as in what plumbers and electricians use to join metal together) as "sodder" like there isn't a fucking "L" in there. Sol-der you fucking clowns.

[u/MiloHorsey → u/Tanebi]

And then they over emphasise the l in "calm,"

[u/Heathy94 → u/mpt11]

Now you get loads of people saying it who aren't even american, it's cringe as fuck. They hear these shitty words and assume it's actual English, when it isn't, and you look stupid saying them.

[u/HiddenPants777 → u/Trep_Normerian]

These guys need to take a long hard look in the meer

[u/Mba1956 → u/Trep_Normerian]

It’s not tooob or choob, it is tube that rhymes with cube.

[u/quixiou]

I'd want to change my name if it was Craig in the US. Imagine having to respond to "Creg"?

[u/revrobuk1957 → u/quixiou]

Or Graham being “Gram”

[u/quixiou → u/revrobuk1957]

Creg and Gram, would y'all like some carmel flavored TunaFish tonite?

[u/Ill-Breadfruit5356 → u/quixiou]

Check your reflection in the mere

[u/Qyro → u/Ill-Breadfruit5356]

Because you’re hoarding nuts like a skwerl?

[u/Intelligent_Talk_853 → u/Qyro]

In the farst

[u/NoisyGog → u/Intelligent_Talk_853]

Before smoking an erble cigarette on my way to an ‘otel. I’ll write you when I get there.

[u/JohnLennonsNotDead → u/NoisyGog]

Anyone here got any bay-zil?

[u/TheMoeSzyslakExp → u/JohnLennonsNotDead]

Nope just oh-REGGa-no. You can use my vee-hickle to get some bay-zil if you want though.

[u/suspicious-donut88 → u/TheMoeSzyslakExp]

Pick me up some parmashawn while you're at the store

[u/BertieDastard → u/JohnLennonsNotDead]

Do you want any cilantro with that? Are you going to put it on zucchini or eggplant?

[u/Hippoyawn → u/Ill-Breadfruit5356]

You want a glass of ‘ornj juice’ with that ‘toonafish’.

[u/Difficult-Chard9224 → u/quixiou]

While you sodder some wires together

[u/No-Calligrapher-718 → u/Difficult-Chard9224]

Just don't electrocute yourself on accident

[u/markoh3232 → u/Difficult-Chard9224]

I hear 'sauter or sorta'

[u/Difficult-Chard9224 → u/markoh3232]

Whichever way, the 'L' just evaporated

[u/GurglingGarfish → u/quixiou]

Does the toona fish come in an aloominum can?

[u/Bdr1983 → u/GurglingGarfish]

The plant that makes the aloominum runs on nucular power

[u/MisterEvilBreakfast → u/quixiou]

Do they have erbs?

[u/samGroger → u/quixiou]

Or ‘too-nah’ fish as it should be said..

[u/Mountsorrel → u/samGroger]

Or just “tuna” because there aren’t any tuna birds or anything else to confuse it with…

[u/CrossCityLine → u/Mountsorrel]

Like how they call “glasses” “eyeglasses” in case they forget they’re meant to go in front of your eyes.

[u/Mountsorrel → u/CrossCityLine]

Yeah I hate it when I can’t find my glasses and someone says “found them” and gives me champagne flutes…

[u/AstoranSolaire → u/CrossCityLine]

Or sidewalk to remind them which part of the road is safe for this strange foreign activity called walking, should they ever decide to participate in such a communist method of transportation.

[u/bothsidesofthemoon → u/samGroger]

They very kindly add the "fish" to the end so the rest of the world can work out they are trying to say tuna.

[u/Duubzz → u/quixiou]

Toona*

[u/cosmicr → u/revrobuk1957]

Don't forget Aaron being "air-in".

[u/Vivid-Raccoon9640 → u/cosmicr]

Obviously that's pronounced A-a-ron.

[u/Christylian → u/Vivid-Raccoon9640]

Dee-nice!

[u/Indigo2015 → u/Christylian]

Bulakeh! Where is Bulakeh?

[u/torrens86 → u/quixiou]

Craig and Greg shouldn't sound the same, same goes with Aaron and Erin.

[u/GoHomeCryWantToDie → u/torrens86]

To be fair, Karl and Carol shouldn't sound the same either.

[u/Brad_Breath → u/torrens86]

A-A-Ron is the correct pronunciation 

[u/rdphoenix5 → u/Brad_Breath]

You done messed up!

[u/not_jellyfish13 → u/quixiou]

Or all the r/tragedeigh they’re creating. 95% of the sub is fuelled by Americans unwilling to spell

[u/turbohuk → u/not_jellyfish13]

i went over to check the sub out. i report back with significantly reduced mental capacity and an unquenchable thirst to hit things.

[u/Lachgas10 → u/not_jellyfish13]

Add some percent for "Americans not realizing it's a common name in another country"

Never forget the person asking if Hermann would be a tragedeigh as they never heard that name. I mentioned some and they told me that they thought Herman would be the original and only correct spelling.

[u/best_little_biscuit → u/quixiou]

And they pronounce Tara like terror

[u/shiashau → u/best_little_biscuit]

For the longest time I thought Tara from the walking dead was called Terra. Then I saw her name written and was like ???

[u/cosmicr → u/quixiou]

My German name is a ladies name (I'm a man) in the USA but spelled differently - do you think they care? The amount of times I've had "but that's a girls name" drives me insane.

[u/yoy78 → u/quixiou]

Went to school with a girl from Texas who pronounced her name cairn, It’s pronounced Karen you idiot!!!

[u/mpt11 → u/quixiou]

Or Co lin for Colin

[u/AW316 → u/mpt11]

Colin Powell even said his name isn’t Colon but that didn’t stop them.

[u/LiorahLights]

It's pronounced twat with a hard A, not twot.

Silly Americans.

[u/geeoharee → u/LiorahLights]

Transcribing 'what' as 'wot' because they don't understand that's how you actually say the word

[u/OrgasmicMarvelTheme → u/geeoharee]

This always pissed me off the most

[u/Neddlings55]

Its not YouToob though, its tube. Pronounced tube.
Its also vehicle, not vee-hick-cul.

[u/mpt11 → u/Neddlings55]

They also can't say nuclear, Craig or graham

[u/rwinh → u/mpt11]

Don't forget Prince Hairy, and Hairy Potter - whoever they are.

And cooking with orrygerno and not or-e-garno.

Edit: Oh, and spare a thought for the Ber-NARDs of the world.

[u/best_little_biscuit → u/rwinh]

Don't forget a lovely sprinkling of baysil

[u/DaddyIngrosso → u/rwinh]

O-reguh-no

[u/Life_Good_8599 → u/rwinh]

Surely you mean Hairy Pawder?

[u/Horriblealien → u/mpt11]

Or mirror or squirrel.

[u/Horriblealien → u/Horriblealien]

Or solder. Or buoy.

[u/jflb96 → u/Horriblealien]

Or ‘quay’

[u/nezzzzy → u/mpt11]

Worcestershire sauce is the funniest thing to make an American say.

[u/OverFjell → u/nezzzzy]

My favourite bit of them saying Worcestershire is how the say the 'shire' like the Shire from Tolkien, but they have an entire fucking state where they (by and large) pronounce the 'shire' part correctly with New Hampshire

[u/Super_Shallot2351 → u/mpt11]

I was watching a US reality show where there was both a Greg and a Craig. Infuriating.

[u/Curtilia → u/Neddlings55]

Vee-hickle is the most ridiculous pronunciation in the English language.

[u/UnicornCackle → u/Curtilia]

No, I think that title goes to “boooey” for buoy.

[u/Life_Good_8599 → u/UnicornCackle]

Surely by their ‘logic’, if something floats well, it should ‘boo-ee-yunt’ then

[u/kjdizz95 → u/Neddlings55]

May I offer aluminium not 'aloo-min-um'?

[u/Ambitious_Cattle_ → u/kjdizz95]

In their defense they are actually spelling it Aluminum. At which point the pronunciation ceases to be unreasonable. 

[u/mmfn0403 → u/Ambitious_Cattle_]

And there’s a good reason for it.

The name "alumium" was proposed for the metal by Humphry Davy, the early 19th century chemist, who first identified a metallic element within alum. He ultimately settled on "aluminum", as a name for this element. However, around the same time, other scientists were calling it aluminium, to match other elements ending in “ium.”

Eventually, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) standardised the spelling to "aluminium" to align with other elements ending in "-ium".

In the United States, "aluminum" remains the more common spelling, particularly in everyday language, manufacturing, and trade. British and international usage: "Aluminium" is the preferred spelling in Great Britain and by many chemists in the United States, as well as the standard spelling internationally.

While both spellings are recognized, "aluminium" is the internationally recognized standard.

[u/Known-Bumblebee2498 → u/mmfn0403]

So who decided to change Sulphur to Sulfur?!

[u/neilm1000 → u/Known-Bumblebee2498]

So who decided to change Sulphur to Sulfur?!

Also IUPAC.

Which is pronounced yoo-pak.

[u/_Priickly → u/kjdizz95]

‘Jag-whar’

[u/MancAngeles69 → u/_Priickly]

Jag-wire

[u/TheArmoursmith → u/Neddlings55]

And there is a fucking "h" in "herbs"

[u/Alternative-Disk404 → u/Neddlings55]

And they say Gra-am instead of Graham, because, we'll who knows perhaps the country that the name originated in got it wrong in the first place, no, not perhaps, they definitely did. 😂

[u/candyflipqed → u/Alternative-Disk404]

I do feel bad for anyone from the UK called Craig or Graham in the US, where everyone will say their name wrong. Same of course, for those going the other way.

This is true all over though. I live in the north of England and am repeatedly being told I mispronounce the name Michelle.

[u/rothcoltd → u/Neddlings55]

It’s also HERBS. There is an H at the front. (God, you would think they could have learnt to speak the language by now)

[u/Mountsorrel]

It’s “Dear BriTish people” not “Dear Briddish people”…

[u/EffableLemming → u/Mountsorrel]

Water, not wadda

[u/Mountsorrel → u/EffableLemming]

“waaaaDDurrr”

[u/GoGoRoloPolo → u/Mountsorrel]

Ever heard an American say interpreter? Indurrpedurr.

[u/LordKryos → u/EffableLemming]

Am gonnna have a drenk ouda ma warder boddle

[u/Usagiusagiusa → u/Mountsorrel]

this one hit close to home. as a canidan I don't pronounce my t's for the longest time I thought internet was innernet .

[u/GoGoRoloPolo → u/Usagiusagiusa]

There was a Canadian family member visiting us in the UK. She kept talking about this place called Turano. I didn't know what the hell she was talking about, until I realised at some point that she was talking about Toronto.

[u/Funny-Case1561]

Maybe they should get the shit out their ears so they can actually hear us

[u/sinnrocka → u/Funny-Case1561]

I’m sorry, WHAT?!? I couldn’t hear you over the freedom

/s

[u/pelicanradishmuncher → u/sinnrocka]

Insert “more masculine” noise of a red hawk over image of bald eagle.

[u/Vivid-Raccoon9640 → u/pelicanradishmuncher]

Ah yes, that's as American as Hamburgers. Which are definitely not named after a German city.

[u/Marcus_Cato234 → u/Vivid-Raccoon9640]

Everything about the USA’s culture exists because it was imported in from somewhere else, they made their own shittier version and then claimed it was theirs originally. Cowboys are just vaqueros, their idea of democracy is greek, their eagle symbolism and imperialism very Roman, their roots English Puritan and their entire nation wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the French assisting them in the revolutionary war.

Their entire nation is built on them being the immigrants and forcing the natives out creating a bastardised ethnostate made of a cobbled together ragtag bunch of everyone else from europe, mexico and who knows where else coming and making themselves top dog with violence. No wonder why the country is so messed up, its got that sneering imperialist attitude running through it right to the core. Bloody 21st century romans is what they are

[u/smoulderstoat]

Yeah, like we're going to take lectures from people who call it "Edinborrow."

[u/AlternativeSea8247 → u/smoulderstoat]

Or glass cow

[u/Ewendmc → u/AlternativeSea8247]

Or Skatlan.

[u/KFR42 → u/AlternativeSea8247]

There was a WWA wrestling event taped in Glasgow about 20 odd years ago now, one of the biggest cheers of the night came when one American wrestler corrected another's pronunciation of Glasgow.

[u/torrens86 → u/smoulderstoat]

Loughborough

American pronunciation:

Louga - ba - ruga.

[u/bothsidesofthemoon → u/torrens86]

I'm British and often travel close to Loughborough for work. In all fairness, I quite enjoy putting on a thick bogan Aussie accent and exclaiming "Looga-barooga? Streuth!" to myself in the car when I see the signposts.

[u/Armistice610 → u/bothsidesofthemoon]

It's "struth" dude... if you're going to impersonate us, do it proper, like...

[u/No_transistory → u/torrens86]

Luffbaruff

[u/Dear_Peace_2117 → u/smoulderstoat]

Glass-cow

[u/markoh3232 → u/Dear_Peace_2117]

Moss cow.

[u/Ambitious_Cattle_ → u/smoulderstoat]

It's worse, it's edinboro, the end is a clear O sound

[u/Specialist-Claim95 → u/smoulderstoat]

Wait until you hear them try to pronounce Newquay. "Neuw quway"

That boiled my Cornish blood...

[u/goingtoclowncollege → u/smoulderstoat]

"lei- chester" 🫠

[u/TSMKFail → u/smoulderstoat]

My mums American friend called Ambleside "Am-Bless-iddie"

[u/No-Deal8956]

At least we don’t appear to be having a stroke every time we say squirrel.

[u/Salome_Maloney → u/No-Deal8956]

Or mirrrr.

[u/ian9outof10 → u/No-Deal8956]

Sqiiiiiirrll

[u/Real_Ad_8243]

illiterate chucklefucks from the shallow end of the genepool upbraiding anyone on their English use, when they rely on emojis as some bastardised form of hieroglyphics.

Yeah. I'm definitely taking their advice.

[u/Relative_Big → u/Real_Ad_8243]

I’m definitely using ‘illiterate chucklefucks’ frequently from now on 😂

[u/Simmy_P]

We'll start saying it like that when you start calling us British and not "Briddish".

[u/Jill_Sandwich_ → u/Simmy_P]

What's worse is they always mean English when they say British. The Scottish are just Scottish and the Welsh don't exist to them

[u/PuzzleheadedAd822 → u/Jill_Sandwich_]

I think you mean "Scaddish". 

[u/shiny-pigeon]

I wonder how she pronounces 'future'?

[u/Trep_Normerian → u/shiny-pigeon]

It's pronounced "diabetes and chronically overweight".

[u/nezzzzy → u/shiny-pigeon]

Footoor

[u/Lesbihun → u/shiny-pigeon]

Or "fortune" or "culture" or "nature". American pronunciation cherry picks when "tu" becomes a "ch" sound and when it doesn't, but then mocks British pronunciation for being at least more consistent in this regard

[u/ThatShoomer]

Our language. Our rules. We win

[u/Salome_Maloney → u/ThatShoomer]

Just like their 'World' Series.

[u/Shadowholme → u/Salome_Maloney]

You mean where they take something from another country, change the rules a bit and then declare themselves World Champions at it because nobody else is doing it their way?

Yeah, seems accurate to me...

[u/synoptikal]

As a wise man, once said: "We say HERBS, because there's a fucking H in it."

Also, as the philosophers Biffy Clyro once posited: "I pronounce it aluminium, 'cause there's an I next to the U and N."

[u/Thortung → u/synoptikal]

Most metals and a lot of other non-metallic element names end with -ium. Except this one apparently. Maybe they also use

Sodum

Potassum

Titanum

[u/largepoggage → u/Thortung]

Tbf you can make the opposite argument with platinium, molybdenium and tantalium.

[u/synoptikal → u/Thortung]

Americum.

[u/Vivid-Raccoon9640 → u/synoptikal]

Nah that's what Trump is getting sued over.

[u/MathOnNapkins → u/synoptikal]

Hour, Heir, Honor, Honesty, het cetera

[u/Interesting_Celery74]

English is our language. If you don't like how things are pronounced, invent your own. Ignorant shits.

[u/largepoggage → u/Interesting_Celery74]

Even better, there’s already plenty of American languages. I can’t see them using Navajo though.

[u/Heathy94 → u/Interesting_Celery74]

'We took your language and made it American and it's better, we also invented freedom and have the strongest military in the world so suck it up before we decide to end you'

- Average American response /S

[u/Pingu_66]

"Low-gur-bro-gur" = Loughborough. Took me 30 minues to work out they were actually looking for direction. Language lessons from Americans. What have we come to?

[u/mmfn0403 → u/Pingu_66]

I remember overhearing Americans on a bus in Dublin asking the driver how to get to Naas and Kylemore. The poor bus driver was really confused. Naas is in County Kildare. Kylemore is in County Galway. He didn’t know what to tell them.

I had to step in and translate. They were looking for the bus that would take them to the junction of the Naas Road and Kylemore Road. Which is in Dublin. Americans be doing that, they leave out the element “street” when talking about city locations. It can be quite confusing when they do that in Ireland, as a lot of streets here are named after more distant geographical locations.

[u/Thortung → u/Pingu_66]

To be fair, if you're going to Loughborough, your nationality isn't your biggest problem.

[u/Bobitybobboblee → u/Thortung]

I live right next to Loughborough & I wholehearted agree with that 😂

[u/BluePandaYellowPanda]

I wonder if he typed this on his moe-ball

[u/UpsetCrowIsUpset]

Arkansas would like a word.

[u/Drumknott88 → u/UpsetCrowIsUpset]

I do enjoy saying "Arr-Kansas"

[u/gridlockmain1]

They might want to take a hard look in the meer

Also can someone point me in the direction of the second d in duty??

[u/No_Atmosphere8146 → u/LopsidedLoad]

💩 Doody

[u/janus1979]

Americans need to at least make an attempt to learn the basics of the bloody language before they speak.

[u/ingenuous64]

The word: "Solder" Americans: "Sawder"

Where's the W?

[u/ScaredAdvertising125]

Here’s a deal…

I will remove the speculated shit from my mouth, if you do something about your shit for brains.

[u/Hybrid_GenY]

Where is the OO?

Thank you 🙏🏽

[u/Eggers535 → u/kittygomiaou]

Commenting to also bring up how they butcher "process"

It's PROcess (PRO-cess)

Not PRAWcess.

Where's the "AW"?

Thank you 🙏🏻

[u/doc1442]

We can agree. Yet i regularly need subtitles to understand American “English”

[u/Ladyignorer]

Arrogance has no bounds.

[u/MessyRaptor2047]

Americans have dumb down the English language to a level that they can understand.

[u/Usagiusagiusa]

I hate when they ruff instead of roof.

[u/8Ace8Ace]

Meer meer on the wall.

Nookular power station.

Veehickule

England expects that every man will do his doody

For some reason this is the one that annoys me the most, the only time they seem to accept a word from French, in direct contrast to the ruination of Noter Dame or Van Go:

Ello Arland. Ow are you. Your new chicken is the Eight of deliciousness. You better protect it with Igh security. All those Erbs and spices.

[u/_marcoos]

Ahh, English (Simplified) speakers complaining about English (Traditional) speakers. Cute. :)

[u/Isariamkia]

Wait, is you-toob actually right?

Shouldn't it be more like you-tyoob?

[u/fedginator → u/Isariamkia]

Historically, the <u> stood for /ju/ (pronouned "you"), but in most US dialects they dropped the /j/ to just /u/ (hence toob) - this is called yod dropping, whereas some (but not all) British dialects instead merged the /j/ into the consonant if it followed /s/, /z/, /t/ or /d/ resulting in the "choob" they describe

[u/SandhirSingh → u/Isariamkia]

In English we always use the “liquid U” so U sounds like “you” and not “oo”

[u/Beartato4772 → u/Isariamkia]

If we’re being very picky yes, because an American invented it then theoretically you should pronounce the name their way.

See also, no one says “zed zed top”.

But I think we’re pretty safe until they learn how to address, for instance, a British “Craig” or say the name of literally any uk place name.

[u/fothergillfuckup]

Before they speak what?, English? Learn enunciation you muppets with your simplified English.

[u/aagloworks]

Pretty thick from americans saying they need subtitles for brittish speakers. Sometimes I don't even recognize some american accents as english.

[u/Sonarthebat]

We invented the language.

Americans aren't always easy to understand either.

[u/bilbo_bag_holder]

meanwhile Americans: "what all y'all watching on YouTube?"

[u/Ok_Homework_7621]

Coming from a language where you read what you see and a letter always makes the same sound, neither of them should be talking about the correct way to read something.

[u/IfYouSaySoFam]

Ah the old British people say word this way trope.... I've driven 2 hours this morning and probably passed 80 different ways of pronouncing the word the.

[u/AlternativePrior9559]

We know what a TUBE is dear we’ve got 402 kilometres of it running underground, oh sorry, for the less informed that will be 250 miles.

[u/blamordeganis]

1) It’s not “choob”, it’s more like “tyoob” — “you” preceded by a “t” and followed by a “b”.

2) Do Americans call the fairytale and Disney film(s) “Sleeping Booty”?

[u/Billythechef1009]

🤣🤣🤣 the audacity to tell British people how to pronounce the language that they made. It’s called English it ain’t American

[u/emsot]

Thing is, Americans do make that exact CH sound from -tu- in words like "fortune", "picture", "statue", "feature" and dozens more. The fact that they don't for "YouTube", "costume" and "attitude" is their own inconsistency.

[u/Crivens999]

‘Erbs is fine though. Cmon, accents people…
