We pronounce "cough" as KAWF. And if that's how the British pronounce it, then that would make our pronunciations of "coffee" the same.

Based on what Catwoman says, the British pronounce "coffee" as someone in New England might. Okay...Perth, OC, Limey, UT and Katkeeper...help us out here. How do you remember "coffee" being pronounced, if you remember hearing it?

People in England don't all speak english, how can you expect an ex-colony to do any better?

xoxoxoBruce · 05-31-2005, 06:42 PM

Don't all parents hope their offspring will do better than them? Some even demand it.
