New Brady District Business: Main Street

[BKDotCom]

Is Chimera in a contest with Pryhm for the most mispronounced restaurant in the Brady District?

Chimera is a word.   (blame the English language for it's pronunciation nuances :  /kīˈmi(ə)rə/ not /CHi mi(ə)rə/ )
Prhyme is not a word  (they went out of their way to use ebonics)

Its sad that Tulsa folk don't read enough to know what a Chimera is and how that word is pronounced.

At least ask the googles

Been floored with how many people also can't pronounce Decopolis.   Metro and Metropolis.  Deco and Decopolis.  Not exactly brain surgery.  But then again I have actually started discovering that some people have never heard of the word Metropolis, and don't know what it means?  What do kids do in schools these days? And Chimera... your saying some people don't know what that is either? Egads.

I've had experiences with:

Tortilla  (Tor-til-la)
Bistro  (Bristow)
fajita  (fa-ge-ta)

I'm sure of many more but those popped into my head pretty quickly.

In fairness, it has been a while since the last Superman movie.

I've been asked where I got those NAY-chos before.

My girlfriend went to Chimera yesterday and said it was great.

It's not incorrect to pronounce "tortilla" as "tor-till-a" or "fajita" as "fageeta." That's how they are phonetically pronounced in English. British people actually say them like that. (Well..not sure about "fageeta" but they do say "fill-it" for "fillet.") The British actually think we are pretentious for our pronunciation of those words.

Yes. Good quality at good price points. It's not for the fat.

Very nice caffeine buzz.

I had a stint working behind a movie theater concession stand....

The British can suck it. "lift", "telly", "easy-peasy"...egads indeed you toffey nosed anglos.

Thank you.  I could not figure out why I always thought "deadly bacteria" when I read the name.

Let us not forget aluminum is "ally-min-yoom" to the limeys.

I think I'll open a joint in the Brady District named "Irregardless" to complete the triology - 1) hard to pronounce word that does not exist; 2) commonly mispronounced word that does exist; and 3) correctly pronounced word that does not exist.
