Help[Opinions] Re: Thanks.
in reply to a message by Siri
Well, I, for one, really don't dislike living in ah-MAY-ree-ca, or ah-lah-bah-mah, and there's no way I'd correct someone for saying that. And I am not going to go around saying Österreich instead of Austria. Or OWS-trya instead of Oss-tree-ah, for that matter. And I don't expect Spanish speakers to say "the United States" instead of los estados unidos.
I guess I'm mainly just talking about vowels. Johannah pronounced yo-HAHN-ah seems a lot more correct than pronouncing the J hard, but I don't consider it any less respectful to say yo-Hannah.
But in general I think people would be a lot happier if they were more laid-back, especially about things like the inflection of an a across accent lines.
Anyway sorry if I misinterpreted your post, I think I may have.
