Lanyard

[jennyjoan]

Know this is an ID cord round the neck - but how is it pronounced.

Is it LAN YARD

or Lany - id - Lanyid. Thanks

[Tilly2]

Lan yard

[ummmm]

Lan Yard.

[jennyjoan]

LOL - thanks - I didn't want to be caught out in pronouncing it wrong.

My mum got me out of bed one night as she was reading (great reader) - she said Jenny - what does bed-raggled mean. I hadn't a clue when I realised it was bedraggled. Easy done. She was a great reader but my God a terrible speller.

Difficulty - she spelt Mrs D Mrs I Mrs FF I Mrs C Mrs U Mrs LTY - Bless her - loved her so much.

[Tilly2]

Did she every ask you what a 'leg end' was? That would have made some story!

[mikey4444]

Lan-yard, every time for me Jenny !

[Georgiesmum]

Definitely LAN-YARD.

What other way of pronouncing lanyard is there?

[mccfluff]

@ talbot "string thingy you hang round your neck"

that's what i was just asked for, i gave them a lanyard and they went away happy enough

[sandyRoe]

I've never been comfortable with 'poetaster'. Is it poe taster or poet aster?

[mccfluff]

what is it? i want it to be a poe taster....

[sandyRoe]

I hope it's been well washed out before you taste anything out of it.

I was a voracious reader as a child but think I was in my teens before I knew I had been pronouncing the name Hermione in my head wrong for years.

Herm i 1

And then there was the philosopher from ancient Greece, Sock rates. He name was a bit of a shibboleth.

[sandyRoe]

His name^^^

[Bathsheba]

Or when I used to read my brother's comics, Superman etc, and found out I'd been mispronouncing aliens and metropolis wrongly in my head ;)

I was a voracious reader as a child// See there you go again Mamy making these confusing statements. I have never in my life read a Voracious, I stuck to books & newspapers.

[jennyjoan]

the reason my doubt of pronunciation is I used to say BIO-PIC instead of Byeopic. Biopic.

I have learned proper pronunciation from subtitled on TV

Oh Ron , you've missed out - they're very good.
