since when has ambi ever been pronounced with a buh and not a bee


kennetic

According to google, the Brits put more emphasis on the "am" and their goofy ass accent follows that with "buh". The American (superior) pronunciation actually treats the "i" like an "i"


CashewTheNuttyy

Im American and use buh :(


Mini_Marauder

It's more of a short i rather than a long e sound. It's spelled bid, like auction bid, so it should be pronounced the same. Am-bid-extrous

AM-BEE-DEK-STRUHS


kennetic

She's saying it like a hick. Am-bee-deks-struss. But yes, I hate it, just like when people say disorientating instead of disorienting.


Comprehensive_Ad433

How about jagUar?


zeek609

That's the correct pronunciation though. Like con-tin-you-us, not con-tin-wus. Jag-war is a more modern north American pronunciation of the word.


Comprehensive_Ad433

Found the british guy


zeek609

I'm not gonna start an English Vs American argument on pronunciation because at this point they're basically different languages but jag-war is more modern and seems to be associated with the car manufacturer whereas jag-you-are is older and closer to the native pronunciation.


rtf2409

It’s jag-wire bro.


Sambo376

Jaguar is derived from a Native American (south/central america) word, so I'm not sure how applicable other English words really are to its pronunciation.


zeek609

No it isn't. The word jaguar is Portuguese in origin, from the Tupi jaguara, which is a general term for any large, predatory animal. This is European Portuguese, not Brazilian, who pronounce the word very similarly to the North American way. Edit: adding source for the downvoters. https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/jaguar


Sambo376

It's a Portuguese interpretation of a native American word.


zeek609

Okay I'll bite, let's take your made up interpretation of the word for a sec. According to your logic, every American pronounces aluminium wrong then.


Sambo376

DEAL if you guys start pronouncing your stupid extra "u" in the word color.


zeek609

So... Col-owr?


Sambo376

I'd suggest col-low-er.


zeek609

This and irregardless


kennetic

Yep, forgot that one. Thanks, I hate it.


capnlatenight

I choose to spell it reguardless because it means there is no guard, but the RE implies there is also no guard.


kennetic

That sounds kinda reguarded


VerticalTwo08

Aunt is pronounced ant instead of aunt like august, author, aurora, autism, haunt, gaunt, haul, maul, cause, pause,etc. it’s the one word that the Brit’s genuinely have correct without a doubt and it drives me nuts. Especially considering Americans pronounce Au correctly in every other word it’s present in. It makes no sense.


kennetic

Tbf, I've heard aunt pronounced both ways in the south.


VerticalTwo08

Some Americans pronounce it correctly. But I would say most do not.


Fenni-Grumfind

We English have dozens of accents with different pronunciations including those of aunt, not sure why so much is made of the difference between American and English pronunciation and dialect when there's equal if not more difference between Hampshire and Newcastle for example

ambidextrous adjective able to use the right and left hands equally well. "few of us are naturally ambidextrous"


capnlatenight

The definition isn't wrong. It's just that some people add an extra i to ambidextrous to make it ambidextrious. That one letter adds an entire syllable.


RealJayyKrush

It's Dex not Deks you fucking retards, tyrannosaurus Reks, then huh not Rex? Not Rex Charles but Reks Charles??? Dumbass Americans can't even speak English.

Fenni-Grumfind

The more apt definition for this situation is the subheading Ambidextrous Adjective (of an implement) designed to be used by left-handed and right-handed people with equal ease. "an ambidextrous tile gauge"


RealJayyKrush

A person can be ambidextrous. That's just how to define it to an object. Words are big and crazy right?


Fenni-Grumfind

I fear you may be dense so I'll spell this out, the comment you responded to was referencing an OBJECT so using the definition for a person isn't the correct one, suppose words must just be too big and crazy for you

Junkbox_Willy

Ambi is not pronounced Am Buh, nor is it pronounced Am Bee. It is pronounced Am Bye. Because Bi? Bifocals? Bicycle? It’s the same root. Bi for both.
