You spell like an Englishman, too...

Funny, I'll be watching something like Harry Potter and I will frequently ask my wife "what did he say?". I apparently don't understand English.

That's ok, neither do we

That's the funniest thing!!!!!

Probably said before, but like something out of Python.

Or maybe more like this.

As an Englishman, I of course now the real way to say it but I wouldn't want to spoil the fun.

And besides, I have given up trying to teach you all to speak proper England.

Did I say something dumb up there? I feel I'm missing something obvious here.

No my friend, my oh brother comment was just aimed at the whole idea of two grown men arguing about the pronunciation of a word. I thought the insuring discussion was enjoyable and funny.
That's all I could think of.

Don't worry, Greg - took me a moment, too. Somethings are meant to be read, others are meant to be sung! "Tomato, tohmato, let's call the whole thing off..." or more appropriately, "Tah-me-ya, Tah-my-ah"?

Might be my tiny keyboard, but I think I sound a little flat there...

Ahhh. Sometimes I'm pretty quick, others it takes a 2x4 up the side of the head.

Thanks, KT.

ROFL @ mississippivol....

That's the theme song to "Laverne & Shirley"...."Tah-me-ya, Tah-my-ah, Schott's beer incorporated..".

LOL!

Oh brother!

Here in Canada, it's DECK-als.  & Tam-E-yeah.

This thread is almost as good as how to pronounce Tamiya  :-)

Let's be carefull out there...

Lets call the whole thing off! ;)

Lets call the whole thing off! ;)

I always thought us Yanks tend to pronounce them DEE-cal whilst Brits tend to say DECK-el.

At any rate, were I there I'd have bought popcorn.

Don's correct and right too.  Though if the English  and similar accented type speakers want to corrupt the original word, that's OK.

 After all we (the U.S.)  have created our own language out of theirs -making it more understandable and mellifluous  in the bargain   

Oh now we're getting a history lesson from Don. LOL! Kidding, Don.

Why Not ,Darned Waterslide markings , that way everyone can be happy ? Besides I never liked them anyway . Paint works better ! Actually they ain't to bad ,  just test my patience and clumsiness  some . Besides I have always called them D-Cals as in decant .

Just say stickers....problem solved.

Cooler, that's right. I couldn't understand the guy anyways...
