"A classic example is the way "loch" is pronounced by folks from London/most of England
They pronounce it - lock.
 "
I'm English and I don't pronounce it lock. I think saying "most" English do is incorrect. A lot don't. |

Admittedly I say lock too. I can't do that growly thing that some Scottish and Welsh words require |

Bath with a short a
Scone as in gone
Tomato as in tomarto
Grass as in ass
And garage as in garridge
I am very well spoken and have frequently been accused of being a southerner but my pronunciation of all of these words shows me to be a Yorkshire lass to the bone.  |

Bath as in Baaaaath
Scone as in Scoooone
Tomato as in tomatooe
I do say Garage as in Garragge tho for some unknown reason .
But I do see a pattern forming as I think us Yorkies tend to hopd onto a letter more when we pronounce words.. Well our clan do anyhow.
I do get teased for calling the remote the teletext .. Never once called it the remote.. And I say curry as in curray with defination on a deep u if that makes sense  |

"Is there more than one way to say bath, laugh and tomato?
I need lessons  "
Bath: baff, barf, baaaaarth or with a short vowel sound as you would have heard when you lived up north.
Laugh: laff, laaarf
Tomato: tumarto, tomarto, tomayto. |

When I moved to Derbyshire, it annoyed me how nearly everyone seemed to feel the need to "correct" how I pronounced certain words, yet said acksin instead of asking...
I say barth, not baff.
Grarss, not grassss, ect
And completely off topic, but a roll will never be a cob to me. - That could start a whole new debate!

Tomato is pronounced tomota round here but you drop the T. So it's more like toma_a.

Hmm, I'm ambidextrous with scones but usually go for scons.
Gr-arse and b-arth, check - but garage is definitely pronounced the same as as barrage, OK yah! |

My children are the same. Ju is very well spoken and is always picking them up on their pronunciation. My son speaks like me though but my daughter is bordering on posh. |

Can't stand this laziness where people say 'of' instead of have and 'we was/is'
Even worse when it's written.
No excuse for apalling spelling iether(sic) in this spellcheck era.
It's really offputting in profiles but it would probably be worse if you turned up at the venue to meet the 'Battersbys' rather than the posh gits you were expecting lol |

I get a bit annoyed with people who say nucular and secatary but it doesn't make me cringe the way that people say "haitch" instead of aitch.

"Bath as in laugh
Scone as in tone
Tomato as in the English was and not the yank way! "
Laugh is a bad choice as it can also be pronounced with either a short or long "a" sound
Bath as in Math
Scone as in on
And tomato not tom-A-to. |
