Do you say carmel or caramel? Hearing some americans pronounce "caramel" as "carmel" is probably as bad as their pronunciation of aluminium

since we moved here, I've never heard it pronounced any other way. Admittedly, that's all in the South, which might make the difference, they seem to mangle quite a bit of english pronunciation.

@firefall: Yeah, different places in the US pronounce things differently sometimes. But, that's expected, it's just different accents.

You mean the island that was one of the first to speak english?

@Pinkrainbowkisses: Well we didn't teach you that spelling! There is a need for the 'U'. It distinguishes those that learned to spell from those that didn't. Really it is a language herritage.

@Gumba1000: Tell Webster.. he's to blame lol. Honestly though I don't see what the big deal is if we put a u in it or not. It amazes me that I've seen such a fuss over something so stupid on here.. many times. 😂😂

@Pinkrainbowkisses: I will tell him next time I see him. English is made of French, German, Italian, Latin, Scandanavian, Gaelic and Dutch. It is a verbal monument to a collaboration over time. It is the most learned language in the world and the most universal. English is a great legacy of history. Changing it just because it is hard for some to learn, is not a good reason!

Note I don't mean Americans find it hard to learn English, I was just stipulating that that might have been a reason whichever American removed my 'U's in the first place.

Tell me about it. How dare people have different accents
