Most students.
People who jump on the bandwagon.
People who think 'h' is a word, no it's one letter. (As just mentioned above).

It is indeed a letter, but in the context of explaining a dislike, saying 'h'instead of the correct 'h' would be quite meaningless.

The thing I very much dislike is tainting the otherwise lovely weather.

Men who feel they have to take their tops off in the street. Please don't.

Jagwar is one thing I can't bh about. It's primarily an American (mostly South American) cat after all and they're free to pronounce it "Jagticklemebutt" if they so wish! We're the ones bdizing it.

Also - Zeds in words where there should be an Ess.
nono I think you'll find those are actually "Zees".

Jagwar
Jagwar is one thing I can't bh about. It's primarily an American (mostly South American) cat after all and they're free to pronounce it "Jagticklemebutt" if they so wish! We're the ones bdizing it.

Also - Zeds in words where there should be an Ess.
Key part in there is south America where Spanish and Portuguese are the language and in both languages you pronounce every single letter... So the British pronunciation is actually closer.

It was a pre-colombian word translated by a Portuguese in the early 1600s... The Americans bastardised it.

If anything we've chopped of a syllable ourselves as it's pronounces Jaguarete in Guyana where the word is from.

BTW, other pre-colombian cultures has different words for it, notably the north American tribes so the American pronunciation would be a different word altogether if it were derived from tribes where the Jaguar used to live in what is now the southern US (or Mexico). The Spanish just called it a "tigre" (tiger).

Google's idea of the Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation sounds closer to the American pronunciation to me?
