Mister M Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 a bit like the affected way the newscasters pronounce foreign names, so PC over the top its untrue but what do we excpect from the Guardianista BBC?? Didn't the BBC move to Salford? Mind you I don't suppose the BBC recruited from the locals. Cleaners and admin staff, perhaps. But newsreaders & executive level - doubt it. ---------- Post added 29-06-2015 at 12:33 ---------- Three other words mispronounced all the time are : We're.............. pronounced as where. Vegetables......... pronounced as vegtables. Medicine........... pronounced as medcine. Makes me cringe. Yes & the way they pronounce Hamas gets on my goat, They do that harsh 'ck' at the beginning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berberis Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The BBC has its own IT system for pronunciations for its staff. If they are saying something one way and you are not, you are doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiffRaff Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Three other words mispronounced all the time are : We're.............. pronounced as where. Vegetables......... pronounced as vegtables. Medicine........... pronounced as medcine. Makes me cringe. Interesting, that. At school, I remember being taught that there was a difference regarding the word 'medicine' - I think the spelling was the same, but the 'study of', and the stuff you were prescribed, were pronounced differently..... ---------- Post added 30-06-2015 at 00:00 ---------- BBC = Brrritish Brrroadcasting Corrrporrration British Broadcorping Castration, according to Spike Milligna, well-known typing error...
