I say Cara-mel =).

I say ''Care-a-mel''. Saying ''Car-Mel'' doesn't sound right to me.

car-a-mel. [= i dont know anyone who says carmel.

Uh. I say both at times. I dunno why.

^ Yeah same here, but I say Caramel most of the time.

I say both but caramel more often.

car a mel
car a mel

it depends... if someone says "caramel" id correct em and say "carmel" and vice-versa

ima car a mel guy!

both lol

I say it very literally. CARE-uh-mehl.

i say cara....mel
well i am pretty sure i say it like that

yup, that. Its different from car-mel and cara-mel

Its car-a-muhl

I saw care-uh-mel. Then again, I used to call mascara mas-car-uh.

cara-mel

I say poopoo.

Caramel.

That's what I believe too. I say root though...rowt sounds odd.

I say caramel, why would it be carmel? Would you call someone named Cara "car"?

caramel, just because that's the way i heard it since childhood, and that's the way i normally see it keyed as well.

the only thing with the 'silent a' is that it's generally not spelled with the middle a when pronounced 'kar-mel'

karamel..sounds nicer

i say caramel. care-uh-mel

I say it caramel except I do say carmel apple.

I say "care-uh-mel".

This reminds me of that one commercial with the kid and Shaq, when they're sitting on some steps and arguing about which word is the right pronunciation.

You're a loony.
Well that's where we differ then. I do indeed pronounce it "rowt."

It makes ya wonder about a lot of things about our language. Like, when it comes to comb and tomb, why is it "cohm" but "toom?"

The english language has a too many rules with so many exceptions.

the other words that are mispronounced to me are:

coupon - q-pon
water - wa-der

and common nicknames i never heard of:

sprinkles (like on ice cream) - jimmies
slippers - flip flops
lolipop - taffy ?

lol yea i heard of all of those when i moved down south
