Seriously, where were you dragged up? Also, answer my previous question, where does this supposed j sound come from in 'tremen-jus'?

I take exception to that unnescessarily nasty remark. I was reared where they teach people a higher standard of English than you obviously have. They teach us things like the fact that a D can sometimes have a J or G sound, as is the case with words like deuce, pronounced juice, and dredging, pronounced jredging.

Let this link settle it.

I think it's funny that a google search on how to pronounce tremendous, the third choice leads you back to this thread!

Listening to the deaths on the radio

and guessing how much the deceased was worth by the number of priests celebrating the funeral mass. It's well known in the countryside that very very rich people have at least 5 priests say the funeral mass whereas a poor person just has the local priest.

Usually overheard at elderly batchelor with a biteen of land funeral '' Who'll fall in for the place now ? ''

Thank fcuk I can drive properly outside Dublin. Dublin must be the only city I've driven in (including overseas) where people do 85KPH on a motorway and hog the overtaking lane - twits!

good lord

deuce is pronounced deuce, and dredging is pronounced dredging

d has a j sound when followed by a g only. i shudder to think what else you consider to be a "high standard of english"

Yes, the way it is written, tre-men-dus. Where does the g/j sound come from?

It comes from the regional variations in how people speak, otherwise known as dialects. Oh and 'tre-men-dus' is not how it's written, that's just your phonetic interpretation of it so leave others to theirs.

Because down the counthry a ditch refers to a bush.

As the mother use to say would you jump off a Ditch if Wiki told you
