I say Tesco's and Asda.
I also say maths - for the reasons various people have stated in this thread.
:eek2: that's harder to say, and has more syllables than anaesthetist ... are you sure it's an american bastardisation ?
I just thought american english changes were usually easier to say. I wouldnt have thought any language would have words evolve into more complicated forms that less complicated ones.
Whats the british english version? And of aluminum too?
Thats how it is here too... (minus my bad spelling)
Ahhh, I see, I searched it and it comes up both ways. Considering I can't spell it to begin with, I would never have noticed. Thanks.
It's more in the pronunciciation, where in chemistry different elements can sound quite similar it gets confusing. For example, aluminium oxide is called Alumina. So when I know Aluminium, and hear Aluminum, I was like, wtf is that :crazyeyes
You also have to drawl it out, as though you have been at the gas yourself.
