in murican it sounds like how a French person would pronounce "the shed"

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Is that with a silent “D”? I know the French like to drop the end sounds of words… “Zee She”

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 10 points 2 days ago

“Zee shed”

After coming here I can't tell how to say g and z differently. Why are they doing this :(

They had perfectly different sounds.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Americans used to pronounce Z the same as the rest of the world until someone wrote the ABC song and decided it needed to rhyme with V, and then an entire generation grew up saying it wrong and it stuck. At least that is what I've heard in Canada.

It's also why there is a Canadian version of Sesame street where the last verse doesnt rhyme because up until the late 90s our TV censors used to straight up nope things that would cause kids to be confused about how things should be pronounced.

Then how can Americans tell the C shed from the Z shed?

It was Noah Webster, of the dictionary fame, for the same reason as colo[u]r and cent[re/er] - to put a new identity post revolution on American English

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 3 points 2 days ago

Looks like it was a combo of both, reading about it further. https://www.rd.com/article/americans-british-pronounce-zee/

Regional dialects at first, but then the dictionary declared it the official pronunciation and shortly after the song was produced, which would have spread the use from being regional and encouraged homogenization

Dang it.
I mean I'm happy for you, but I really thought I had an original idea there, for a moment.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It must be where he keeps his motorcycle.
