Poll: How do you pronounce advertisement?

["andy"]

So she does. The 2nd pronunciation is correct.

maybe if your austrian or dutch !

ad ver tise ment . simples

 

[Marky]

Here's a clip from Mary Poppins showing the correct pronunciation.

 

["andy"]

seems like either way is fine. oh well

advert it is

 

[Hutch]

Definately 2. Anyone saying 1 is a closet American.

 

[geekyEd]

2

but none the less POLL REQUIRED so we can root out all the yanks.

 

[monkeypants]

2 is correct unless you are a loser, pronounced "looz-er".

 

[semi-pro waster]

Has to be number 2, number 1 is cumbersome and it's an Americanisation. Go on then Camelpaw, which side of the debate do you pick?

 

[CliffyBiro]

2 reminds me of the German from The IT Crowd.

 

[memyselfandi]

2 because it is the correct way.

 

[Dewotter]

I say 1, 2 sounds to americany even though it isn't.

 

[Jez]

The second option

 

[iamdjdz]

No 2, though they're pretty interchangeable and I don't think people would notice in normal speech.

 

[monkeypants]

No 2, though they're pretty interchangeable and I don't think people would notice in normal speech.

I notice and it makes me want to excrete into my own hand so I can rub it in the offender's face.

 

[singist]

either way is ok (now, is that eether or ither?)

 

[Strife212]

It should be

1. Ad-ver-tize-muhnt

Or...

2. Ad-vur-tis-muhnt

Anyway, I've literally never heard anyone say 'Tahyze' in my life.

 

[Ant123]

Number 1!

 

[Freefaller]

maybe if your austrian or dutch !

ad ver tise ment . simples

Well the first way is how the yanks say it - I speak the Queen's English, which for a Frenchman is rather ironic but funny at the same time

 

[Freefaller]

Here's a clip from Mary Poppins showing the correct pronunciation.

 

[GWillow]

Has to be number 2
