People who say sangwich

You need to pahk the cah in the yahd yah new yark bahstads.

 

Once prnounciation that really pisses me off: Myan (for the word "mine", as in "That's mine")

 

That's more Boston than NY.

 

My charming Grandfather says it that way due to partial hearing loss and being from the old country.

 

That was the point.

 

I see then... god job.

 

Sangüich!

 

Word..

 

Dah-VEED says "Sanguich"

 

Such a rebel!

 

I once refused to date a girl who pronounced it "sangwich". Can't stand that.

 

I drop the "d" when I say it. San'wich.


I also call all soda "coke" even though I'm from the North.

 

Then you are wrong. Doubly wrong.

 

Does *anybody* habitually pronounce the "d" in "sandwich?"

English does not "allow" very many multi-consonant combinations, and the few "friendly" ones follow certain patterns. Compare /str/ /spl/ /spr/ with /mpk/ /rct/ /ndw/. The first set is apparently okay; examples of the second set exist, but tend to get obliterated. Pumpkin = punkin, arctic = ardic, sandwich = sanwich, or sangwich, or . . . whatever. (In case you care, "ng" is considered one sound for speech-related purposes, even though it has two letters in it. So the "ngw" "sangwich" is actually an "improvement" on "ndw"--at least if you're saying it. Maybe not if you're hearing it.)

 

I'm thinking a sangwhich is something that has been in the cupboard far past the expiration date and the fungi and singing and dancing and making the "wich" turn green.

 

In proper English was say the "d".

John Edward Hollister Montagu and his ancestors are unimpressed.

Doesn't everyone say that?
As for sangwich, I have never heard any one say that.

 

Over in here England we say sandwich.
And seeing as how we invented the word, to us you listen.

I pronounce the M in pumpkin, and the D in sandwich.

 

I hereby present Harpoo with a gold star from the Queen's English dept.

I say sandwich, unless I'm really excited about it, in which case it's a sammich.

 

Yep, I routinely say all three of those words as they are written.

 

Elision FTL!

but Assimilation FTW

ah, but do you also pronounce the P?

I'd assume so, because P and M are both bilabial, whereas you'd change the M to an N only when you drop the P because of the K and it would actually be an NG instead of an N
and yes, this sentene makes perfect sense

 

I just had a nice Reuben Sangwich for lunch.
