So my girlfriend is Amerifat, I'm a Canafag and I need a discussion settled. The O in mayonnaise, silent, soft or hard?
She says MayOnnaise and I feel like it's wrong. She says I am wrong for saying Mayannaise with a soft o.

Who is right?

>> No.14867854

Neither is right, but she's wrong because she's a woman. Hope that clears things up.

You are wrong for dating a hick. If you don't pronounce it with a soft o your daddy most likely diddled you.

She is wrong for being born with a hole from which the blood of her sin extrudes every month.
You are wrong because you were born a filthy leaf, and unless your from Quebec or Montreal were born in a God forsaken land.
The correct pronunciation is mayo.

I get into this same argument with people about the word vegetable. Most people these days just say "Vegtuhbul" but clearly the vowel structure is that of "vegitabul." Most longer english words are dropping vowels like flies these days as humans naturally shorten language over time.

Go ask the French who LITERALLY invented the word and not the quebekkers that LARP as frontier French. Canadas who say their country is bilingual is a joke. This is proof

None of them know what the etymology is. They can't even agree on whether it's actually French or a loanword from Spanish.

well, in fact, was invented in Maó (note the accent), former Catalan Balearic island, know as Mahón un Spanish.

it's kind of similar to allioli (catalan for 'garlic and oil). Heretics add salt and things.
