Leceister is pronounced 'Lester' Not Lie-chest-err This reminds me of Glastonbury 2000. When Macy Gray was on (rocking the mainstage by the way) she kept saying "what's up GLASTON-BERRRY!" and everyone around us cracked up... in spite of a stellar show, she got a pretty poor review, I think it was cos of her pronunciation  | |

Half the towns in America are names after British towns, I believe. But we gave you names that you could say, like Bir-ming-ham, Cam-bridge, Cam-den. Here are some other words Americans should also get to know: "There" "is" "a" "world" "outside" "America". And please rename your "World Series" to North American Silly Boys Rounders. http://www.goldiesparade.co.uk/ - Prince discography, tour history, news and more. | |

Well said Cavalier. "...because no-one gets there alone." - "...I like the floor. It's the only thing that seems real." | |

Has 'minge' been mentioned yet. I love that word.  Some people are like Slinkies...
They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |

Leceister is pronounced 'Lester' Not Lie-chest-err You should hear them trying to pronounce Irish placenames. Or even just people's names | |

Quirky how this little chat started as a piss take of “wacky” (I can only assume the yank meant “peculiar” by this strange colloquialism) British tones of phrase. Only to arrive at the current juncture of how Americans pronounce Liechester Square. Quite frankly I am flabbergasted, gob smacked, knocked for six and generally ticked off by the need to cross-examine each other’s pronunciation of words. There is no question about right or wrong except that they are OUR words, OUR language (admittedly we borrowed a few bits from, German, French, Latin and Greek but essentially English) and if you don’t like it get your own language! Or get a dictionary, an OED not any of that Webster’s rubbish and learn how to talk proper! | |

Try not taking things quite so seriously. Life's a lot more fun that way. | |
