second image a bit of a reach, and isn't yellow the stereotypical raincoat color?

If you look more closely, the jacket in the second one appears to be the exact same one that Feldman wore. Given that Spielberg produced Goonies, I assume this was an intentional easter egg.

Lon-ji-tude is too difficult to say if you pronounce -tude as -tewd, but I assume you don't do that in the US anyway?

Nearly as bad as 'leftenant' imo.

it's because it's very long, it's the longest of all tudes.
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 13 May 2021 16:18 (three years ago) link
In Romanian, it's lung with a hard g but longitudine with a soft g, just like in NA English.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 13 May 2021 16:21 (three years ago) link
I've never actually heard anyone say 'leftenant' irl tbh so I'm dubious about how common its use is in the UK.

Anglophone Canadians say "left-tennant" too, right?
― Van Halen dot Senate dot flashlight (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 13 May 2021 17:19 (three years ago) link
officially yes, although it's one of those things where some people will say "lou" and will inevitably be corrected by a nerd
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 13 May 2021 17:26 (three years ago) link
I would say it in reference to a specific official. If I'm talking about the rank or the position in general, I would say LOO-tenant, though LEF-tenant sometimes slips out probably, which is the case for a lot of words that I was taught was the right way to say but for whatever reason I try to adjust my pronunciation to the American way (I work with Americans mostly, and it feels weird to sound different)
― Punster McPunisher, Thursday, 13 May 2021 17:56 (three years ago) link
I say "LEF-tenant, er, LOO-tenant, ummm, which is supposed to be the UK way and which is the American way? Oh shit I don't remember, this is stupid, sorry"
― emil.y, Thursday, 13 May 2021 18:00 (three years ago) link
Ha! I feel that way about the "i" pronunciations -- missile, anti-, via, etc. I gave up. The only one I know is Canadian is intestine (rhymes with line)
― Punster McPunisher, Thursday, 13 May 2021 18:03 (three years ago) link
I say leftenant, but make a random exception for lieutenant pigeon (I have no idea why)

moving to Canada has destroyed my confidence about saying the word "process"

As a Torontonian, I pronounce "process" PROCK-ess.
― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 13 May 2021 20:57 (three years ago) link
'LEF-tenant' is virtually unheard of in Montreal. Yet another way in which our English is more Americanized than that of other Canadians, I suppose.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 13 May 2021 20:59 (three years ago) link
wouldn't it be more because pronouncing lieutenant as "lef-tenant" is super bizarre if you know nearly any French?
― rob, Thursday, 13 May 2021 21:02 (three years ago) link
Hah, that too, probably.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 13 May 2021 21:02 (three years ago) link
I'm new enough to Canada to not be sure if Halfway is messing with me or not
Weirdly enough, the lef-/leuf- comes from old French, if I'm not mistaken.
― Punster McPunisher, Thursday, 13 May 2021 21:05 (three years ago) link
Fwiw I tend to say 'pro-cess' instead of 'prawcess'. And 'dah-ta' instead of 'day-ta'.
xp a lieutenant is literally a place (lieu) holder (tenant). In Old French lieu was leu, which I don't think was pronounced 'lef', but I'm not a medievalist, so don't quote me on that.
