Schedule. Do you pronounce the "c"?

Schedule can be pronounced either way.

Which makes four different ways of saying that

It can only be pronounced one way without sounding like a total pillock.

ZOMG Yeah I guess so.

But still why say the convoluted one instead of the simple one?

Well, the thing is Ron, the English language allows us to pronounce words differently if they are spelt differently. So aluminium & aluminum are, like, well, different words, so we say them different. Thats why, for example, "cat" & "dog" are spelt differently - so that we can pronounce them differently, & don't try taking the cat for a walk.

Only Americans could make SUCH a mess of our beautiful language. Please explain why we need "inflammable" & "flammable".....
 
I do love you Ron, really. You are so cute.

....but how should we pronounce "either".......? Is it, phonetically, "eether" or "ither"? Does one assume "neither" & "neither" follow the same ruling?

For the love of all things good and holy do I really now have Eeeeeeeglish peoples correcting my New York Accent?


So I went to the New York Public Library and asked for a library card. The nice lady asked for proof of New York residency, so I pulled out a knife and stabbed her!

If you're from Britain, and using British pronunciation it's shed-dule.

If you want to accommodate American English, you can pronounce it either way.

The same way as route is pronounced in the same way as root if you're British, but as r(out) to rhyme with bout, if you're American.

Whilst I'm at it - pronunciation is NOT pronounced as 'pro-nounce-ciation', and advertisement is pronounced as 'advertiz-ment' NOT advertise-ment.

Also important to remember that Kev is correctly pronounced as 'wideload'...and he supports Colchester United.
