Before I retired I pronounced Wednesday Humpday!

Ms. O, this is the deliciously hilarious "Scones Scene", from the infamous
1968 ******* - themed film _The Killing of Sister George_. Mercy Croft, the
starchy BBC executive in the hat, is played by Coral Browne, who a bit later
became Mrs. Vincent Price!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB1ZNV5xXtE

Good Grief!!! I don't think I will be interested in watching
that)

Question to Ms. O or anyone: are "Scotch scones" as referenced in this clip
a spec -i - AL - ity of Scotland, or...???

Sheila Viemeister is the Scottish expert around here, my
scones are Yorkshire scones)) I get some lovely scones up here though
which seem very similar

Hers are some Scottish drop scones though

Really? "Wed nes day" with 3 syllables? I've never heard that.

Perhaps the problem is that if you are not a baker and did not grow up
in a family that enjoyed freshly baked things you have never had a nice
fresh scone. They are like biscuits in a number of ways. They are made
of similar ingredients and in a similar style and, like biscuits they
are meant to be eaten fresh. They should be eaten warm.... not hot out
of the oven, but freshly made and still swarm.

First you take English and turn it into something unheard of and now you
start on Spanish?

....like saying, I think correctly, "crepe," like pronouncing the first "e" like it
is in "crept" while most people say it like it is rhyming with "grape."

Yes, that's the original French way.

Maybe because the French way can lead to confusion in English.

So, you're going to tell locals how to pronounce it? There are a lot
of places back East that will keep you busy for a very long time
correcting local pronunciation.

How about correcting the Brits and Aussies on their local
pronunciations before you start on Americans.

Maybe the D goes so fast, I don't notice it. I do notice that some
Australians say the 'day' part differently in all day names. They don't
say day as in way, but make it much shorter.

Yes, I have a lot of work to do in Australia. Old joke:

English regiment is stuck in a hopeless situation against the Germans.
They get help from an Australian regiment, but they know that it won't
be enough. So the English say to the Australians: "Did you come here to
die?" The Australians reply: "No, we arrived yesterday".

I love bagpipe music. I have a music CD of that.
"The Bagpipes & Drums of Scotland"
Good stuff.

Anytime there is a parade here at the beach, I'll ride my bike
down to where it begins. As soon as the marching bagpipe guys
show up, I'll follow them on the sidewalk walking my bike.
When they get to the end, I'll ride home. Rest of parade is
usually not worth staying for.

"Regimental March" (traditional) is a favorite.
"Amazing Grace" is also best with bagpipes, imo.

My (step)mother is Japanese, she did not care for cakes or biscuits,
she baked from a box. I'm not knocking her when I say that.

The UK ones are more delicate, though, as UK 'plain' flour is somewhat
softer than North American 'all-purpose'.
