Poojew
I say pyewjoe. How do you say it?

Actually it's really hard to type how I say it. It's a soft sounding j on the joe part.

No you can't f*cking ''GET IT'', as you don't bloody work here. You may have one though and i'll gladly get it for you as I do work here.

Poxy f*cking Americanisms!

Technically, you can actually drop the 'H' on Hotel and be perfectly correct, so that doesn't help the issue either Eckers.

It's the 'o' in women that's pronounced like that Pip and you need the 'tio' to get the 'sh'. Without the 'o' it's still just 'ti'.

It isn't pronounced, 'mispronounciation' either.

This just isn't your day is it?


Exactly, so I'm not saying it wrong, the thread is about saying it wrong. Read what I said if you want to pick me up on a stupid point next time.
