What an asshole. Maybe they should stop putting an 'f' in when they say lieutenant.

Only once you learn how to properly pronounce "aluminium".

Every chemist I've ever met--American or not--pronounces it the American way. I'm willing to go with them on this one.

But doesn't every English-speaking country except the US use the Leftenant?

(Anonymous) 2014-07-01 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
DA. Canada does, but I am ready to admit that it makes no sense whatsoever. I hear it said Left-tenant on the news, but when I read it, I always say Loo-tenant.

Australians and British go nearly uniformly with the British pronunciation.

Then I'm really getting a "no right way" vibe from this discussion.

I think that's true, though there are correct ways for different countries/cultures.

Remind me, how do you pronounce 'colonel'? Phonetically, right?

(Anonymous) 2014-07-01 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Do they not pronounce it like "kernel" in the UK? That's a strange word, anyway. Pronunciation got mixed up by a version of French.

ayrt

Yeah, that's my point. Americans are all OMG IT'S LOO-TENANT NOT LEF-TENANT and think it's beyond weird while pronouncing colonel the way that it's pronounced. Something you don't use personally =/= non-sense making.

And yes, the British pronunciation for lieutenant is influenced by French while the American one isn't, but they do use the French pronunciation for colonel, so it's dumb for them to get confused about one while doing exactly the same thing for another word.
