Waiting for the Next One

Written by eklastic

Whenever I hear the word emergency I have to smile. I had a Swiss friend who kept pronouncing it something like emmer-tchen-see. The rest of his English was actually quite good but he kept insisting on pronouncing it this way, he even had a custom made t-shirt with the German spelling of his pronunciation on it: “Emmertschänsie”.

    1. Thinking about it we were searching for other wrong pronunciations. One of my favourites: A German talking about “Se-aahn Connehrie” and being corrected by some other German who was proud of his English mastery: “That’s pronounced “Seen”. Ah, well.
