Try to find someone British saying "inventory".

Or "lieutenant".

Or one that I was actually talking about with someone recently - "tinnitus".

It's almost as if being separated by thousands of miles and hundreds of years has resulted in different dialects, or something.

That's not true, because literally nobody in the UK cares what the BRIT awards do.

Canada does this too.

And if you look up why the UK and Canada do it, it's a dumb as fuck reason. Especially for Canada.

Most people in the US don't pronounce it right, either.

Most people try to pronounce it like an English word, but it's an Italian name.

Nah. I just find it odd that people seem to be continually surprised, baffled and amused that two different countries separated by so much distance and history, but who share the same language, might pronounce some words a little differently.

was reading about that a while back. isn't it just because that's the origin of the word? it's literally a "left" "tenant"? but I think we say it the american way in western canada anyway.

This isn't the first and only topic of its kind, y'know. I've seen plenty of topics on GameFAQs over the years with posts like, "Do Brits really pronounce it...?" and "WTF why do Brits pronounce it...?"

To be fair, Brits sometimes have their own similar topics, with questions along the lines of "Why do Americans pronounce it 'tock' instead of 'talk'? lolololol".

Where? While I havent been here for as many years ta as others, I cant really recall many, if any, topics like that. Not on PotD, at least. Plus, all this topic was about was somebody liking how m certain people from a certain place in the world pronounce something. Which is fine and an ok things to do...

And you are becoming hysterical about a "rant" that hasn't even taken place here.

I'd clearly failed to appreciate that the jackboot of the GameFAQs topic Gestapo would come crashing down quite so hard on a general statement. I didn't realise we weren't allowed to make comments unless they were in direct reference to a specific previous post within the same topic and were accompanied by at least one quote.

Like, when someone makes a topic about the MCU, it's off limits to bring up a DC character, right? Thank God you're around to police the conversation and keep everything on track. "Why are you suddenly ranting about DC when no one in this topic has even mentioned DC characters?!"

Off the top of my head... CE, LUE, PotD, a few other places where I post and have posted in in the past. I wouldn't say it's a continual drip feed, but yeah, topics like that have popped up from time to time.

Depending on the nature of the topic, it actually could potentially be very weird to bring up DC characters in a topic about the MCU...

CE is kind of a cesspool quite often... Idk what LUE is. For all the years I've been coming here, I don't think I remember seeing a topic about this, though... I also don't think I've ever heard of anyone on this board not understanding why the UK and US have different accents, either. Never surprised or baffled, at the very least. Amused, maybe. But they usually understand why they have a different accent... Some also complain about the spellings, but that's a different conversation...
