03/10: American Pronunciation
Category: Bumbling | Posted by: Cads
So here's a thing. There are various different pronunciations in American for things that we would normally think of as different in UK English. For example:
Missile is not Miss Isle but rather mistle. Which actually when pronounced that way in British English means "Bible"...
Im sure there's a lot more but the one that sprang to mind instantly was "The Bush Era" ... which is pronounced in US English to sound like "The Bush Error" in UK English - I wonder if this is deliberate?

Era vs. error... yes, it's certainly an amusing (and quite appropriate) coincidence, if nothing else.
