[ANG33ZY]

[yellowcardrox22]

There was a topic on this before, in the food section, I believe.

[dahding]

[MiKEJaY]

[KissMe2408]

"Care-uhh-mel"


mmm.. good =)

[flc]

You know you spelled them the same way in the title? =P

Anywho, I say care-uh-mel, because it makes sense..there's an 'a' there, and I don't recall ever seeing a silent 'a' in a word..

Now, when it comes to route, is it "root" or "rowt?" That is the question.

[__PASS10NAT3]

caramel.

[NatiMarie]

I say Caramel.
X_X

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

caramel.
it's like electric and electruck.
or orange and arange.

[starlette]

well the proper pronunciation of it is Care-uh-melle. I used to go by Karamelle and I spelled it out so people owuld say it right!

[anniepiee]

Caramel.
I know this girl named Carmel and we call her Caramel.

[Paulina]

Carmel. Caramel just sounds weird to me.

[*This Confession*]

caramel

i think thats how you spell it

but sometimes i'll say the other way..

[WHOngos144]

i say carmel. Caramel sounds weird and too awkward to say.

[xosteffanator]

caramel =)

[Tribal J_Rome]

care - uhh - mell

[silver-rain]

I say Caramel.
I've never heard of 'carmel' until that one commercial a long time ago.

[voguelove]

car mel.

[hiromi]

Both, depending. Sometimes I say Carmel, other times I say Caramel.

[Rachel]

It depends. Sometimes times I say "care-uh-mel", others "car-uh-mel" ect.

[me1issaaaa]

Care-uhh-mel. There's an A in there for a reason, because you're supposed to say it!

...I forgot I already posted in here last year. Well, I still say it the same way.

[AnnahhbeL]

I say "caramel."

[*chaneun*]

ewwwwww, caramel
I say it "kara-mel"

[xMayleex]

I say Cara-mel =).

[BlaSian_DoLL]

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

[adurf]

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

[*ranniel*]

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

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

[kylovin06]

I say both but caramel more often.

[misoshiru]

car a mel
car a mel

[REBELnDISGUISE]

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

[vash1530]

[Paradox of Life]

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

[*StanleyThePanda*]

' date='Jun 17 2005, 12:20 AM' post='1370686']
car-a-muhl.

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

Its car-a-muhl

[Smoogrish]

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

[Sakuya]

cara-mel

[*Kathleen*]

I say poopoo.

[emazing]

Caramel.

[Chii]

You know you spelled them the same way in the title? =P

Anywho, I say caramel, because it makes sense..there's an 'a' there, and I don't recall ever seeing a silent 'a' in a word..

Now, when it comes to route, is it "root" or "rowt?" That is the question.

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"?

[x__rilind]

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'

[ecargnmyst]

karamel..sounds nicer

[ktsou11]

i say caramel. care-uh-mel

[Crich323]

I say it caramel except I do say carmel apple.

[SarahxJoy]

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.

[flc]

I say poopoo.

You're a loony.

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

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?"

[SarahxJoy]

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

[pandamonium]

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

[flc]

^ Lol, my friend was talking about how when she moved up to Wisconsin for college, she found it so bizzarre that people called it soda instead of pop.

[sweetabandon]

caramel. *looks at first page* I never knew so many people said 'carmel'!

[reverted]

caramel here. :] woo

[starlette]

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

kay. I dont know what the hell a jummies is. but slippers and flip flops arent the same thing. Slippers slip onto your feet and have closed toes, flip flops are foot thongs. But I've heard of people calling all shoes that slap your feet when you step flip flops because well..they flops. But yeah. Technically flip flops are foot thongs..And a lollipop is not the same as taffy. taffy is this weird chewy hard stuff that always gets stuck in your teeth that you buy from the fair that is pure sugar that they stretch out add air too and you get this weird sticky messy concostion. A lilli pop is something on a stick. Usually hard, but not a rule. For example, a tootsie pop, a jolly rancher lollipop, or a blow pop. Oh, and its not cue-pon, its coo-pon. Therefore spelled coupon. Its spelled correctly for its proper pronounciation. and water? I say it just like i would say footer. I dont say fooT Err, I say footer. the emphasis is on the first syllable there for making it sound like a d, but really say the word wider and listen to the d sound, its different. single ts and single ds are similer in sound of course, but you wouldnt say WaTERRR. sounds stupid. :D


And its CARA-MELLE people. either car-ah or care-ah, but theres an a there. Theres no silent a in the english language that I've ever heard of. Stop saying wrong. there is a Car Mul street and i think theres a Car Mul city in louisiana as well, but they are spelled with out the a.

[EddieV]

Caramel for me

[shadowchild]

carmel... it's weird to say caramel to me. I correct people when they say it hahaha.
