okay, i really like a group called Interpol. if any of you have heard of them or like them or hate them whatever...could you please tell me how to pronounce the name? is it "in-ter-PAUL" or "in-ter-POLE" or "in-ter-PULL"??????? most people pronounce the name "in-ter-pole" and i feel that they may be wrong...or not? |
||||||||
|

|
|
its more like in-ter-POLE.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I say: "in-ter-POLE" as in the International Police organisation here in Europe.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
In - Ter - Pol as in Pol Pot |
||||||||
|

|
|
Yeah.. thats it! (I learned from Kraftwerk) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
That's the correct way. If you're English, the end bit should sound like the "poll" in poll tax (not pole as some people mis-pronounce it...). |
||||||||

|
thanks, "in-ter-poll" does sound most accurate |

|
|
oops yes thats what I meant.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I meant people sometimes pronounce poll tax, "Pole tax"... |
||||||||

pol like 'pretty POL-ly' i pronounce poll tax like pole tax, how should i say it? like a cross between pol and pole- sort of half way? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah, like the "pol" in pol-ee (phonetically) . Poll taxt should be pronounced the same- like pol in polly. Most people do pronounce it pole though, so unless you're bothered about being correct it's not a problem. Just as a matter of coincedance my family had the discussion about how poll tax should be pronounced... my mum reckoned "pol" we reckoned "pole". My mum dug out a phonetic dictionary and it turns out she was right... |

ok :) btw most people don't realise these facts; cylob is pronounced "zee-lob" not "sai-lob" aphex is pronounced "arggh-fex" not "eh-fex" etc ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. cylob is pronounced "qodh-lod" aphex twin is pronounced "aith-f3ichx twehdn" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's always a bit weird arguing over pronunciation as people often try to take account of their accent when typing the phonetics :) |
