I always assumed the American pronunciation pasta as paahsta falls squarely into this category too.

In Parma itself, the cheese is called "grana" which means grain, and is used for really any hard cheese that when grated resembles grains.

roosevelt (like ruse) is how teddy roosevelt pronounced it and roosevelt (like rose) was how fdr pronounced it. even though they were distantly related, there were two sides of the family that pronounced it differently. since eleanor and franklin were ninth cousins she was actually from the side that pronounced it like ruse although i’m not sure if she changed the pronunciation when they got married or not. i had to learn this cuz my brother went to roosevelt university but now i can’t even remember which one that one was.

Not addressing the lack of [æ]? The rest of the world uses it for the final syllable, regardless of what happens with the middle parts of ‘Parmesan’. The same issue with American English using ‘puhsta’ instead of [pæsta].

I feel like “parmezhan” is closer phonetically to parmigiano as in parmigiano reggiano, so the ‘zh’ sound simply makes more sense.

Really interesting video! I’ve just got one small question though: when people pronounce Roosevelt with a “u” sound, is that because they’ve probably learnt somewhere that “oo” is pronounced like “u” in English? But people who say “habañero” instead of “habanero” probably haven’t actually learnt that “n” = “ñ”. Like you said in the video, they just tend to associate the “ñ” sound with Spanish in general, whereas that’s not really the same with the “u” sound and English. So aren’t the two examples starting from slightly different situations? Could you maybe explain that a bit more?

gouda is not pronounced as ‘Ghoeda’. The G is the same as the Schottish ‘ch’ as in Loch. The ou in Gouda is the same as the ou in ‘out’.

I wanna know what you think abt ppl saying bagel like “bag el” instead of “bay gell” (I live in southeast wisconsin and most ppl around me say the latter but I say the first one bc to me thats what makes sense since it isn’t spelled “baegel” or “baygel”)
