People out here still pronounce karaoke as "carry-okey"
Just trying to figure out where that "ee" sound is coming from.
Sauna is not pronounced sawna
okay. SHAW-nah
English speakers are naturally suspicious of the letter a - is it the a as in "snake", "apple", "father", "ball" or "many".
But like.....e?????? It sounds like some cracker tried to pronounce the word and didn't bother saying it right so they just called it that
I pronounce it
"care-uh-oak" as Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ intended.
