What are some words you feel sound more right in both the American and British English?
I use a mix of the two depending on the word.
For example, I stand by pronouncing words like “Amazon” with an “ehn” sound at the end ovet an “ohn” sound, prefer spelling colour and flavour with a u, and also like using double Ls for words like travelling. Also, it is “grey”. (British English)
However, I pronounce Z as “zee”and call them fries rather than chips.
There are also spellings where I sort of alternate between depending on my mood, such as “meter” vs “metre”and“airplane” vs “aeroplane”
Are there any words that you think sound better in British and American spellings/pronunciations?
Schedule, I have to say the correct pronunciation every time I hear it said differently.
Glad you agree on the correct pronunciation of schedule. Fuck the people that say schedule.
Damned right
Me too. It’s the one word that triggers something in my brain.
As the Countess in Roman Holiday tells us, either way is correct :-)
