Since when does "peninsula" have a "ch" sound in it?

[Duer 157099]

I've been meaning to ask all day.

[Cobalt-60]

1. when the person uttering it has a snoot full

[jobycom]

2. Doesn't it. I've always said it that way.

Pechinsula. Sounds right to me.

[kedrys]

3. Chince Chean Connery chtarted pronounching it that way?

I've been wondering about that mychelf.

[proReality]

4. Bad denture fit. n/t

[Selatius]

5. It's like when people say "nuculear" instead of "nuclear"

I don't know where it comes from.

[Lautremont]

6. Since it was decided to be so.

7. Ever since Sade was pronounced "sharday"

[BlooInBloo]

8. Since idiotic Americans got their grubby mouths on the word.

God but we're a stupid country.

11. God, but this attitude makes me mad.

You should hear some of the pronunciations in Dublin, or the way the French use a silent "h" in hamburger.

America is no more or less stupid than anywhere else. Your post just comes off as bitter.

12. Shorter cigsandcoffee: LALALALA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

Dumb and dumber this country is. I know - I've taught 1000s of them.

[cigsandcoffee]

15. Taught them what? n/t

[BlooInBloo]

16. Philosophy & mathematics (I changed fields)

[Mabus]

9. When the speaker has a coke jaw problem

Not to mention the brain damage from years of drug and alcohol abuse. Add to that the emotional baggage of having Babs as a mother.

10. That sound has always been there, if you're a drunk chimp. nt

[tomreedtoon]

13. Ever since they started raising chinchillas there!

Remember, if you raise chinchillas, you won't have to buy your wife a coat. Kill, skin and sew the little suckers' pelts! And you can do it in your apartment! And they taste great with garlic sauce!

[PhilYerHead]

14. I believe the pronunciation can be found in the same place Bush

finds the pronunciation of "nuclear". Pretty much the same, GD it! It can make a literate person go mad. It just hurts to hear, makes one look upon deafness fondly.

17. Innernational anyone?

This one grates on my ears as bad as Newkuler and Peninshula.

Is he talking about Kansas (as in our "inner"-nation?
