I think this is good. It humanises corporations, making it more likely for them to bear responsiblity for their actions, rather than the ultra-capital USA view where corporations have lax social responsibility.
Case in point: I lived in France for four years as a teenager and went to a French speaking school. I speak good French, but my written French is awful. When you're speaking casually, you can get away with dropping a lot of different tenses and verb conjugations - same as in Spanish.
All of these are examples of making the mistake that there's some sort of uniform UK dialect or accent. The correct answer is that it very much depends on where you are, and even over short distances there can be pronounced (pardon the pun) differences.
Most elements of the metric system are better than imperial measurements. Celsius is the one exception, in my mind. Fahrenheit is much more focused around useful temperatures for daily life, and it allows for much more accuracy for everyday life without decimals.
I feel like decal is more of a personal pronunciation than a regional one, at least in Canada.
Basing a temperature scale for humans on water temperature, rather than air temperature is utterly nonsensical. Fahrenheit gives more precise and meaningful temperatures for daily human needs.
Is this an in joke or reference I'm missing? UK here and I've never heard it pronounced like you're suggesting.
I grew up in the U.K. pronouncing it the same way. As mentioned earlier in the thread it makes perfect sense without a point of reference and it's hard to get out of the habit.
I have literally never heard a British person pronounce vagina like that. Vaj-eye-nah, not vaj-a-nah.
Nah. If I say it's going to be 68 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow, is that any different from if it's going to be 69 degrees F or 67 degrees F?
