I love listening to how other people pronounce things. I was laughed at in college for how I say "pajamas" and people in the deep south say the /oi/ sound oddly.
In honor of school starting, how do you say "crayons"?

How did you pronounce pajamas?
Should be pa- jam-us, right?
PJs or jammies.How did you pronounce pajamas?
Should be pa- jam-us, right?
Yes, /jam/ as the second syllable. Apparently almost every region in the US says "puh-JAW-mahs".
Easiest way to spot a Canuck is have them say, "roof"!You and I are correct.
Recently I was teasing a Canadian neighbor about some of their pronunciations.
And I brought up their pronunciation of sorry. She then asked me where was the "a". I was stumped.
Just comparing our sorry and sordid. The first syllables are pronounced completely differently.

'O' like a long 'u', and almost in two syllables.I'm not sure I've heard a Canadian say that word. How do they pronounce it?
'O' like a long 'u', and almost in two syllables.
'Rue - oof'!
It's what happens when you're loyal to the Crown, but are North American! :2razz:I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what that sounds like. I wonder if there is a Canadian Fiddler on the Roof I can watch.
Theres actually a 5th pronunciation, because there are 2 different ways people say your "cray-on" option ^above. They pronounce the o in "on" either hard or soft. So its either like "cray-ahn" or "cray-On". I say it more like "cray-ahn".

Imagine this below, but a bit more bi-syllabic sounding with a strong "long 'u'" thing going-on (to my ears):
It's a British thing! :2razz:That girl mustve been having a bad day, or just finished a major argument with someone, because she doesnt look too psyched to be pronouncing words on video just then!
