Better not move to WaRshington; not even sure where that is, but I live in Washington, and it drives me nuts, even when my wife says it, and she was born here. I was born in Alaska. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
Not if it goes in the 710 hole. (Read OIL upside down) And guys from BASTAN that I served with in Kosovo always had to Pak the caas in the yaad because there was no parking on the their street. Some of my best friends but we picked at each other.
When I lived up in Yankee territory, I used oi-yul to lubricate my engine. (I swear to God, it's two syllables.) But down south, I can only find awl to do the same job. This one drove me nuts when my family moved north for a time.......... My northern cousins wanted to "turn out the light" while I wanted to "turn off the light".

I say iron like the Indian chief in Josey Wales. In most other aspects of life, I'm closer to Josey Wales. Y'all talk funny.
You're right Harv. I use spanners and shifters to undo bolts and nuts and blue language when the f.....g shifter slips off the bolt and draws blood.
Early in my career I had to travel a lot and always enjoyed the difference in the way folks talked! It always broke the ice. I learned to talk in Southern California, but moved to Oklahoma and had a Mom that insisted on proper English! So..... I actually have fun with the English language. It totally depends on were I am and what I am doing , as to how I talk! When I go North, I speak Southern , just to get a rise out of folks! It’s fun! Oh, and Boston is a blast! Lol Bones

Hello, In any part of the USA, the sound and pronunciation can be they way it is locally. (Accents taken into account...) But, for those that have been around since the dawn of time, well almost, it is "ai·urn" or for those phonetic speakers "eye-urn." https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1...hUKEwj0hqismd3uAhXIITQIHXZNAigQ4dUDCA0&uact=5 It is a long link for such a short sound. Jnaki Iron block, an iron for flat clothes, iron ore from mining and even Iron Butterfly: IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA, BABY...
quite true, with the ai - urn refernece may pre date the term cruicible - as a melting pot i.e - what-cha goot cooking in the aye urn how do you lot over there pronounc wrought
If youse are from Bensonhoist "The British may have invented the English language , but it took Americans to make it great." -- Richard Rallings
And another one to add is solder. In this country we pronounce it "sodder". The Brits, and I mean no disrespect, pronounce the "l". As in sol-der.
Funny, when I was in East Timor doing the UN English test they played a recording of an American telling a story. We had to listen and answer questions. At the end we all (Aussies) looked at each other blankly. The Filipino instructor got frustrated and demanded to know if we knew English. We laughed and said we did but what ever language that guy was speaking it was certainly not English.
Could be worse... you could be using a pair of Stillsons It's definitely pronounced al-ar-min-ee-um though. Unless it's that stuff that comes in a roll in the kitchen for wrapping food. That's tin foil . Cheers, Harv
Years ago I had a good friend from West Virginia (rip). His accent was great. He had a flat, handed me his trunk keys and said "fetch me 'tha tar arn fer me. Hittl be ah-rite wif at tar 'o yorn". Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk
