A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Not me, but a friend of mine pronounces rhinoceros as if it rhymes with dinosaur-us.
I'm Dutch. I pronounce the -en at de ends of words, including the n. If you don't know, that's like 10% of all Dutch words
I used to pronounce "adjacent" as adjuhsent.
I pronounce dragon as dragòn, if you know what I mean.
My SO's family all like to pronounce "mauve" in a weird way, so I say it every chance I get to perturb them.
Agate. Apparently I pronounce it the British way rather than the American way because I had read the word many times while never having heard it spoken aloud.

"Horror" and "Water."
("Hor-er" and "woo-tur")
Yeah I'm from NJ and same, but more like wooder.
Also orange = oar-inge

And of course glottal stops everywhere:
kitten = kih'-in
Trenton = chre'-in
