There are some words is English, which are pronounced very differently from how they appear by the so called ultra urban people. I never could understand why they do so. And also there seems to be a competition of 'how appropriate' they pronounce it.
For example 'genre'. It's not pronounced as 'jenr' as it looks but is pronounced as 'jonar'. You get some more brownie points if you pronounce it as 'jownar' and even more if 'jownare'....
Another such word is 'envelope'...as per my Nokia X5 dictionary, it is pronounced as it looks but people are keen to pronounce it as 'ownvolope'.....I can’t understand why....
There is a new addition of a very simple word in this list...it's ‘iron’....I always knew that it's pronounced as 'airon'....but in the TV commercials I see people saying it 'aiorn'....another mystery again...
