Well I'm a snobby west-coaster and I call it "cran" like everyone else I know here, so tell this other snobby west-coaster person that he or she is sadly misinformed!Nope. Some snobby West Coaster told me it's supposed to be "cuh-ray-on." Like how some people pronounce "Koran." Because smurf "cran."Wait, that's not how crayon is supposed to be pronounced?
Also, the double tt thing (if you are referring to "kitten", "mitten", etc.) is common throughout the language. It has a special name; I learned it in a linguistics class. I feel smart.
And I've never heard anyone but Midwesterners not pronounce the double t, so I figured that was just our thing. And what would that word be, Mr Smartypartypants?
Also that's Ms. Smartypartypants to you! Until I become a robot at least!
And yes, MILF is correct~ although funnily enough I don't believe "glottal stop" is typically pronounced with a glottal stop.

Bu-un, ki-en, etc. And other double t words end up being a d sound. (chader instead of chatter)Haha yeah.

I'm bilingual (English and Polish), though not because I need to, it just happened, sorta... I'm studying two philologies at my uni at the mo. That's English and Japanese. I also speak a little German and Spanish. But just a little
My American phonetics teachers call this a 'tap' or 'flap'Bu-un, ki-en, etc. And other double t words end up being a d sound. (chader instead of chatter)
Yeah, that's how you pronounce it. Wtf would would there be so much emphasis on the beginning?
I want everyone to know as per my last post, I didnt even know what that word meant until I googled it 5 minutes ago, I was showing a friend eoff and they misread the title and I thought it was funny
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
I asked Hux about this the other day and now we have to add it to the list of words he makes fun of me for. D:Yeah, that's how you pronounce it. Wtf would would there be so much emphasis on the beginning?
I only speak English. However, I know several words/phrases in Spanish/French, enough for when I go abroad to these places I can understand some things and ask for the bill and stuff. However, living in England there are so many accents which may as well be other languages; I have friend at University who comes from near Newcastle and so speaks geordie, the amount of times on the phone I have to ask her to slow down and repeat it slowly. Her name is Hope, but she says it Hooooooooooooooooooooope in a way that people have mistaken it for Hawk, she also says "why aye" which is incredibly amusing.
glottal stop isn't pronounced 'glot-tal' stop?
and wtf is a cran?
cray-on
ahhh
my head
Aluminium.
Well, in fairness, it comes out more like "gloddle" most of the time
