Thread: How do you pronounce "schedule"?

    My teachers always said "s-KED-ule", so I'm using this form.
    After all, we also pronounce the words like "school" and "character" in this way.
    Besides, "SHED-ule" sounds dumb as smurf to me.
    I still have a lot to learn...

    If we're playing that game, do you want to be with Oskar Schindler or Philip Schofield?
    Not really, they're both a bit too old for me.

    Also Schofield is pronounced Sko-field. Just sayin' (I worked with the guy during my brief stint as a runner on This Morning)

    Yeah, that was the point! Do you want to be like the saviour of thousands of people or do you want to be like a slightly sinister breakfast TV host?

    This is kinda like "z" or "zed". Just depends on where you're from.

    People are the worst, so I'll go with the latter.

    'Sch' as 'sh' makes more sense to me. 'Sch' isn't used in English much, that I can think of, other than in 'school'. I'm used to hearing 'sch' pronounced as 'sh' in German (my stepmother is German and her, my Dad and younger sister live in Switzerland), which seems to use 'sch' more often than English. 'SHED-ule' sounds a lot better to me than 'SKED-ule'.

    You've pointed out "shool", but here's a few others...

    shizophrenia
    shismatic
    shematic

    ... and probably the most pertinent (under the circumstance)...

    sholar.





    The "c" is present and with purpose, it's "skedule". (But what do I know about the English language, I'm just a 'Merican )



    Some of my favorites are "beau-loge-nuh" and "cham-pag-nee".

    Good point!
    English is sometimes tricky.

    British people are right about their pronunciation for herb but they're not right about their pronunciation of schedule or capsule.

    There's no single "correct" way to pronounce words, really. The different standard pronunciations in all varieties of English are all equally valid.
