as a swede whose accent is a hodgepodge of everything between scottish to RP to some vague average of american plus of course swenglish, i have spoken into the void and it spake back.

Oh fine, let's just start pronouncing "recognize" as though there were actually a "G" in it then!! I mean where does the madness stop!!

Thus spake Zarathrustra. (if I spelled that wrong -well, I'm an American). I'd rather not hear any voices out of the void - this whole thing makes me shiver, recalling my lifelong fear of the black void of space and the movie "2001 A Space Odyssey." (Shudders).

I always have. How else is it pronounced? “Reckonize?”
tygerprints@kbin.social 11 months ago
In America a lot of people say "reckonize." In fact, I never hear it pronounced as if there is an actual "g" in the word anymore. I think they're just imitating habits of others but I hope they know that, there really is a "g" in the word (if it comes to having to spell it).
samus12345@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Do they also say “reckonition?”
tygerprints@kbin.social 11 months ago
Yeah I've heard it said that way. And it's very "fustrating." (another word that is mispronounced by leaving out the first "r" in frustrating). My big hang up is people always mispronouncing the word "Jewelry" as "Jew-LUH-Ree." It's just the world Jewel with an "ry" on the end - how hard is that to get right!!!!

Yes, people often/usually drop the g in quick/casual speech, but most regions I have heard do pronounce it when speaking slower or more formally.

Idk, I say it like reckignize. Can’t be bothered to open my jaw to pronounce the O. But I’m from oklahoma so it’s not my fault :)
