hornady..
HOR nady
horNAdy
hornaDAY

now, tell me why some folks call a sabot a -sah-but? or porsche "porsh" rather than pors schA, or mercedes MERcedes, rather than merCEDes (slide the last 2)...

then folks that say leematt when they are talking of the lamat pistol (lehMAy) or "mini" balls, when the man's name is minnie, produced minNey...

or course, you have this even worse in lousianna.. down south "pierre bossier" is pe-er bosSEa while in shreveport is "pier boscher"

now, tell me how you pronouce hebert or tolovar...

HEbert.. ahBaer
tal-lo-var or to-lo-vay?


last, but not least... if a man's name is GUY is it "guy" or geeh?

ALL of these are correct, of course.. saying it one way is a regional dialect....

oh, back to guns.. drives me BOUNKERS when a fool puts "simpson shul" in a for sale add... there's no JUICE in these guns, and no damn P in the name.. RTFM , or in this case, label..
S I M S O N

and, if you are going to say horn-nahde... you actually have to change it to ORN-ah-de', to have all the phonetics in the same dialect.

When the winter Olympics were on in Nagano ,Japan .They asked on t.v ''how do you pronounce it? Nag-a-NO or NagarrNo .So they asked the Nagano city natives, and got a different answer each time !so in the end they said ''pronounce it any way you like !

You ARE wrong. The Finns pronounce it Sock-o, which means everything else is wrong. Capiche?

HP Shooter,

Reread his post. He said he knows how to pronounce it correctly...

It might help your case if you could use spell correctly.

"Hale" is someone's last name. "Hail" when used in conjuction with a location means "where I am from".

Also, it is "emphasis", not "emphisis".

condescension

n 1: the trait of displaying arrogance by patronizing those considered inferior [syn: superciliousness, disdainfulness] 2: a communication that indicates lack of respect by patronizing the recipient [syn: disdain, patronage]

I got some fishin' buddies from down South.

HP...you missed "syllables". Ooops Nice try.

My favorite is "reticle".
I usually hear people say "Wrecktickle"

Don't even get started on spelling errors!

Not all folks from the midwest have trouble with proper english......some of us got smarts real good.

This is good guys. BTW, if you can read the above, you might be a southern redneck!!

My wife sells cars. The owner has a Ford dealership, a Nissan dealership, and a Chevrolet dealership. He once told me all about trying to get a Tai-yoter dealership !!!

I imagine yanks make fun of rebels speech, but the Boston pak-da-ca takes the cake!!

Okay, I'll relate my post to the original point of the thread too. The gun related fowl up (forgive me, I couldn't resist) that drives me nuts is people who say Ith-a-ker.

I have one question. Is Bill Jordan's name Jerdan or Jordan? Drives me zonkers to hear that guy say Jerdan!!!

Well, actually here it's usually spelled aluminum.

A British variant of English??

Surely 'aluminum' is an American variant of the English 'aluminium'??

Whose language is it anyway?

We have a guy on Aussie eBay who spells Hornady as Horndady - have often wondered if that is how he says it!

HP Shooter-
Either I missed some sort of underlying sarcasm in your post, or someone has a reading comprehension problem. I hope for the former.

BFaucett-
Thank you sir.

Regards to all

Hey poletax, did you git that crat offin your ruff yet! derf

If you though hornady was bad try getting somone to pronouce VihtaVuori powders.

I must admit I called Forster, Foster for a while Apparently it helps to read the labels every now and then.

I know a gun dealer who sells Smith and Western hand guns.

You'd have a nervous break down if you came down here to North Louisiana and Texas.

Heck, folks get quite the kick out of our sayins'. I work down at the Federal Court House and even em' ere' "Up-Tee-Doo" folks say things in our Southern Dialect. Most of these Good Folks around here refer to that Fancy Northern Talkin' as "Em' Damn Yanks, They just don't know how ta Speak at Ya do they? Naw, Shure cain't, reckon it was the way they's brought up"

It's just the common lingo around these parts, even from the edjucated bunch.

One of the most common phrases you'll here around here is "Boy, I tell you what!"

Reloader

How about Ra-paul-a for Rapp-a-la

and saw-na for Sow-na

BFaucett
Sorry I offended you. I was typing that while in a hurry, and never proof read it. Off to the reloading room, I do better work there!

God bless him:

Nu-cu-ler (nuclear)

Lest we forget our fearless leader "GW" "Dubbya" "George Jr." "The Pres", who is famous for pronouncing "nuclear" as "nuke-you-lar" instead of "nuke-lee-ur".

I think it was another board that had the quiry whether it was Hopp-ies or Hopps. Went on for ages. Opps!

You say tomah-toe, I say tomate-o.
Amen!

quote:

You say tomah-toe, I say tomate-o.

Nah, it's Mater like someone else said. In the summer time we dig Taters not Po-Tate-Toes we also eat Tater Chips .

Another one that gets me is how some folks say Pee-Cans instead of Puh-cons

ole_270,

Uhhhh???? My posts were directed at "HP Shooter", not you. Did I miss something? I wasn't offended by anything you posted...

Way back when I was in grade school, my fourth grade teacher was teaching us the correct pronunciation of some basic Spanish words. I'm not shittin', according to him, the correct pronunciation of the word frijoles was "fry joles". I'm not makin' this up.

Why do so many pronounce Hornady "horn-a-day"?

The one what gets me is them ther "muzzle breaks"!! (Just hate a gun with a broken muzzle!!)

Also in the same vein:
Petrocelli for Pedersoli;
Hoggdon for Hodgdon;
swagg or swedge for swage, and swage down when it is draw down and swage up.

BFaucett
Sorry. I guess it's just not my week for anything. I completely missed that you had the quote from HP.

I'm from Missouri (Miz oo ree), not Missouri (Miz oo ruh) and I have no ideal what a Mannlicher Sshoenauer (?), but I do know what a man-licker is--usually a good bird dog.

What's that funny sounding shotgun?? Franchi? or is it Franki?

There are also the old favorites...

"crick" for creek

"saut" for salt

and "alnumium" for aluminum

It is not that it takes all kinds, it's that we have all kinds.

flutedchamber

Damnation!

Who cares about Hornady when more important things are at stake:

The true meaning of SAKO is as follows, and those who cannot pronounce it can say something else.
Suojeluskunnan Ase- ja KOnepaja. There. OK?

If you have to use the abbreviation please try to act in a drunken finn attitude - or like an angry Samurai who spits out his scorn:
Sa (with an A like in LOVE or F-CK) - KO (like the O in SCORN, but mind you very short)
SA KO sort of like F-CK-O!
Today the Italians own the company so we just say "BERETTA".

And yes Mannlicher. Puritans (european kind, mind you) will not be caught saying it without the cough, like when a cat spits out its warning. Man- li-chh (deep throat, ok?) - er
Schöö (like Peter Sellers as Inspector Clueseau - I am an öfficer öf the Lööw) - nauer (exactly like in Konrad Adenauer - you remember the West german Chancellor)

But do not use this in the deep forests of Finland unless heavily armed with what you pronounce!!

Bo - Ha

Neva, Ah say neva, has so many worried about so little!

I think some need a full time job, they just have way to much time on their hands!

Sounds like somes of ya'll needs some cheese within your Whine....HE HE
So, has ya ever wound the bandage around the wound
Or Could he lead if he would just got the lead out

What I really enjoyed was them dang carpetbaggers living in North Louisiana calling sand bass (white bass) bar fish. or Crappie = white perch or red ear perch a chinqapin (who knows if I spelled that one right. and worst of all calling a crawdad a crayfish...and they called me a yankee ????

Bo HA - HAH!
