Re: The "How Do You Pronounce X" Thread

My TRAP/BATH vowels have always been slightly confused, for some reason. That's pretty common in Australia. A friend of mine distinguishes between the verb /dæːns/ and the noun /dɑːns/, but the latter is only used for the name of an event (party, ball etc.). She'd still say "Get up and have a ...

This is a better onomatopoeia for drums, especially a snare, than parum-pa-pum-pum IMO Thanks, but I think if you trill your r's, that's not bad for doing a kind of marching band snare thi...

Re: English questions

They've occasionally randomly suffixed "haus" onto some words for no reason. The only things that look non US-American to me are that they use the word "chook" (Australian for "chicken") and say "chips" instead of "fries", but, like, "buffalo r...
