They say Labatt all wrong

Did anyone else notice this...the whole LABAAAATT instead of simply Labatt (la-batt). Was this a joke I missed out on or are they just pulling a Will?

It sounds like they're saying "La-blaat". Weird but, meh.

I have no idea what are you talkiing about.

Labatt is a Canadian Brewing company

I hear it too, but it sounds like they are saying LA-BOT.

Those phonetics are terrible.

It's Le-BAT. Not LA-bat. Or Lah-BAHT.

Oh no.

Molson's are better anyway.

Actually wait a minute, fuck beer just drink vodka.

Ok thanks.

I remember that Ryan said "bon mots" once on the podcast and absolutely butchered it. I know he likes to say certain words weirdly (robots comes to mind) but this was just painful.

Also, I would like to use this opportunity to point out that Americans say Toronto and Montreal incorrectly

Go on?

Right, so Montreal is said as MUN-Tree-All not MON-tree-all

And Toronto is said as T'Ron-Toe not TOR-On-Toe

Essentially its our fault for not saying them in a different way from how they are spelled, so it's really just nitpicking

What does being American have to do with it? I bet people from Montreal say Montreal different than people in the rest of Canada. I know nobody on mainland Canada can say Newfoundland or Topsail properly.

I didn't notice the Labatt pronunciation. Maybe it's because I don't watch TV or listen to radio so I never hear the ads and no one I know drinks Labatt. We're mostly Kieth's or Candian drinkers.

@mosespippy: My GPS can't say Topsail or Stavanger. I almost went off the road laughing first time it messed it up.

Also, I'd put money down that no one can pronounce Newfoundland right until they've been there for more than a week.

Also Ryan is rather well known on the site to butcher the pronunciation of words voluntarily (because it's funny) or involuntarily (when nobody knows or is willing to correct him).

@Brodehouse: Molson is still kinda of pukey...drinkable, but still vomit like in taste

There you go. Though really, mispronouncing proper nouns is not a bid deal.

But executable?

No forgiveness.

the worst and i mean absolute worst is when people say NEW-FOUND-LAND

I would say that the ability is to hear the difference between le-bat and la-bat is non-existent

You talkin' about New-fnd-lnd?

In Newfoundland there is a place called Bay Vert and when a true Newf says that it sounds like Beruit

The importance is the stressing of the BAT rather than the La.

@Brodehouse: I need to work on my phonetics

Or if you live in the west and want to piss someone from Toronto off you say it T'Ran-Ah

The bon mots thing was purposeful; I'm sure he knows how to actually pronounce it.

I don't always drink beer... but when I do I prefer Moosehead. Here in Canada it's not only an affront to nature... it's a beer as well.
