How do you pronounce the following words?

vase
creek
roof
wash
route

Other: orange not urnge, onion not urnion, and idea not idear

anyone else says crick other than me out there??

Vase, creek, roof, wash, and roote.

Vaas.
Kreek.
Roof.
Wash.
Rah-oot.

Vase..Creek(I've never heard it as crick)...Wash..although my dad says warsh..And sometimes I say route and others roote..

Vase, Creek, Roof, Wash. I live in Utah so this is a huge problem. Never heard of so many cricks and ruffs. I hate that. I'm actually not sure how to pronounce route.

Vase, Creek, Roof, Wash and Roote.

Noo-Klee-er (Nuclear), not New Killer (like Dubya says it)

That would have been pretty cool if I'd put that in there!

A couple of them depend on the sentence, I guess. Roof and route I don't always pronounce the same.

Vase, creek, roof, wash, and roote.

Vase, Creek, Roof, Wash, Route...

but my mom saws Crick and Warsh.

too bad you didn't have Aunt (ant) and AHHHnt ... but very cool survey

I say 'vahz', roof, and 'roote'. Neither of the washes are how I say it - wosh.

It depends on the context of the sentence. It's vase, but it may be vahz if it will sound better in the sentence. It's usually crick, but if it's a creek, than it's a creek. I used to say warsh because no one else did, but now I just say plain old wash. And if it is for directions, I say route. If it is a street, it's called a roote.

I've noticed that I will say Route 66 as Root 66, but then when I say 'What route will you be taking?' It's route, not root.

What?

Vase
Creek
Roof
Wash
Route

Vase, Creek, Roof, Wash, and both Route and Roote interchangeably.

bury = berry
milk = melk

It's never too late. I pity you having a born-again homophobic idiot as a President.

LMAO!!! I'm drunk too! (notice I didn't type snort to indicate this...)

I speak like the queen...

I always pronounce it heenus. How do you say it?

vase, creek, roof, wash, roote

The one I hate most is idear.
It's IDEA! Where the F*ck did you find that R?
Under your trailer?

......correctly

Oh another one!

Herb or erb?

My mom got really ticked when we moved to Missouri because people called pronounced my name 'Maygin' instead of 'Meghan'. She'd say, 'It's Meghan, like egg.' Only problem was they pronounce egg 'aygg'.

I say haynus, for heinous.

you'd really laugh hearing how my friend describes a whyaate dawwg....lol.

White dog?

Like a Canadian.

Interesting....But I think Creek and Crick are totally different things...a Creek to me is a small streem of water. And a Crick is a noise made when walking on an old floor......I've never even heard of "Warsh"

Umm...no....a crick is a noise and a creek is a stream of water...

It drives me INSANE!!!! when people say idear!!! Clearly it does not have an "R" at the end!!!!! GEES!!!

Trust me, in the US and I know because I have experienced some of them in Misourri that say 'crick' and are talking about what we know as 'creek'. And there is a LOT of 'warshing' going on around here too.

It sounds so foreign...I would have to really work at it to say idear...I don't think that people realize that it makes them look dumb when they say it.

Rhyming with Anus.
( Hay-nus )

Do you always capitalize "anus"? Giving it the respect it deserves? Like Rockman and "Beer"?

yeah

Vahz, creek, roof, wash and roote.

lol

Yeah it does make people seem dumb....this old lady in my carving club says it a lot...I shiver ever time she says it...someday I'll ask her why she says it.

More than likely her answer will be "That's the way I've always said it."

Probably.

Vase, creek, ruff, wash, and roote.

Vase...I have only heard people making fun of snobs say Vahz
Creek...I lived in the south as a kid....and my granny used to say Crick
Roof...Again...south
Wash...Living in Philly I heard Warsh all the time
Route....Roote is also a southern thing

I say Vahz, Creek, Roof, Wash and Roote

All of the above that were followed by the word 'or'

I loved reading this. It all depends on where you are from. Many in SD, MN & WY say crick while I say creek. In Eastern SD it is ruff not roof, in Eastern SD and Western MN it is warsh not wash. But my personal all time favorite was beg instead of bag - that one always threw me for a loop. It all depends on where one is from and where one is raised. The same can be said for which meal of the day is dinner - for some it is lunch for others it is supper. I got so confused as a kid being raised by a mom from CA in eastern SD that I no longer eat dinner - ever - only lunch and supper.
