POLL: How to pronounce Genealogy?

[Guy Etchells]

The notion that scones are scoons in Scotland is quite ludicrous. Only the place-name Scone is so pronounced & that has nothing to do with scones.

 

Or even lia fail

Claire - Pinefamily (post 80) seems to suggest that its "medcine" and not "medicine" - as I said, I think "medcine" is no longer in the dictionary although I accept that it's often pronouncd that way.

Does anybody cook with "gas" or do they use "garse"?  ..... and, if so, how do they say "gas bag"?

[..claire..]

Ray T ~ crossed wires, thought it was how people generally said the word.

I cook with 'Gas' 

gas bag

Good evening,

Looking through all the posts it seems to depend on how many zylaballs you break it down to.

So it could be; Genie allergie or genie ology

There again it could be; Gee knee a ler gee

How do these medcine folks pronounce medicated?

Genealogy aint a problem in Shetland where it's called "Coontin Kin!"   

Skoosh.

Here's a way to test your pronunciation of genealogy.  Try saying GENEALOGICAL.  I bet you say geneAlogical, even if you choose to say geneOlogy!  It's all in the spelling.  I'm all for geneAlogy, anyway.

When I first saw the question I couldn't understand why it was even being asked, because the answer seemed so obvious   -  Alogy.  I was surprised to see how many Ologists there are, though.

Genea = generation
Logy = study
