used to get that all the time too
For me it was the one time. And it stings
When English people pronounce:
Betws-y-Coed as "Betsy Coe-Ed"
Llanelli as "Lanelly" or (if they're trying really hard) "Clanecly"
Machynlleth as "Merk eye-un luth"
Bangor as "Banger"
Heddlu as "Head Loo"
Araf as "A raff"
More to come.
How do you pronounce them, then?
People who use the word Cwtch can burn in hellfire.
That would be telling. I couldn't possibly.Quote:

English people are the worst.
Nah, I've never mentioned that it annoys me. Sometimes the 'd' gets thrown back in there as well (heyo). So it turns into sangdwich. Equally annoying.Quote:

It just showed that the announcer didn't watch the show he was introducing, and must have been reading his introductions from a script, which just seems silly to me (at least check you're pronouncing the in show word correctly).
I've got some news for you...Quote:

Which is?
That he was reading from a script because it was an actor reading for a character.
It was a joke.
(ba dum tsss)
It wasn't a character though, it was the announcer on the channel - the "Coming up next..." guy.
