It's skejule and click. How did you learn to pronounce them? And is French your native language, and if not, where did you learn English?

I remember hearing a British singer when I was younger and fell in love with how he said... "li'le bi'y bo'le caps" (little bitty bottle caps) So, what about "cup". How is that pronounced? |

OK - a fairly famous one. How is the British surname Featherstonehaugh pronounced?

Although, saying that, I have a peculiarly mid-atlantic vocabulary and seem to think in American English a lot of the time -- this could be due to the intimate ties my town had with the locally stationed GI's during the Second World War or cultural influence from Cinema/Music/Books. Also I once (in a panic and after watching a US TV cop show) advised someone in a big shouty voice - "Call 911" |
