Oh, that was just WUNNERFUL, Theresa! Altho’ the only one that sounded like “Aooga” was the 1912 Pierce Arrow. All the rest brought severely congested ducks to mind.
There’s a BBC News article where they mention that’s one of Brits’ pet peeves about Americans… is how they mispronounce the letter Z. something about ‘maths’ too
Hahaha, one time I was at one of those places where you ride around in a car and feed the animals with food out of a cup. They told us we could feed all the animals except the zebras, because they bite and quote, “Zebras are on time-out for life.”
First! OMG that mouth action….it keeels me.

Stoned and driving through a wildlife park is no way to go through life, son.
no speakers at work, had to watch in silence…
my brain inserted “aaaooooooga” sound instead of zeeby noises…
Close enough.
tracylee, I like the way your brain works. That made me watch it with the sound off just so I could say “aaaOOOOgaaa” in my mind.
Don’t settle for it just in your mind!

I believe this is must be somewhere in Great Britain because these dorks are trying to park in a zebra crossing.
Pronounced, of course, ZEH-bra, not ZEE-bra.
Yup, that’s what I zed.

Do they mention how we insist on putting an article such as “a” or “the” before the word “hospital”?
Pfft.
As if they (aluminum) have any room (lieutenant) to criticize (valet) other people’s (Worcestershire) pronunciations.
One of MY pet peeves with THEM is how they mispronounce the letter Z.
Such intense disapproval can mean only one thing. Brits must all be buns!
*snerk*
Say it with me: Al-loo-mini-um!
Now say: Alou-minum!
I’m told I can do a decent British accent, but I’d never remember how they pronounce that one!
Al-YOO-min-yum.
Or at least, that’s how I mispronounce it
(And yes, I am a certified crazy Brit)
Well, that’s not just pronunciation. They spell it aluminium.
Flehmen me not!
Anything you can do, I can do better
I thought a duck was going to come down and give the guy $100. I guess I’m very old. Very, very old.
