Mishaps and Bubblewrap

Must be a british accent.

You like potato and I like potaeto,

You like tomato and I like tomaeto;

Potato, potaeto, tomato, tomaeto!

Let's call the whole thing off!

 

~EW~

Or maybe the person you were talking to was saying it wrong. I hear that happens, especially in the middle of the country.

 

As someone coming from the New York City area, I can safely say that the pronunciation is, 'bay-gel,' with a hard 'g' like in 'seagull.'

I only know of two ways to say bagel: as though it has one G, which is the correct way (BAY-gull) or if it has two Gs, which is completely wrong (BAG-gull).

 

It is an unforgivable crime against the English language to pronounce it the second way.

 

Don't even get me started on people who can't say "milk" properly...

Yeah, I think I recall you saying "bag-ul"...

 

Thing is, an episode of Community addressed this "issue" with one of its characters one episode, so I just let it go.

 

-CF

as a northeastern Ohioan I too can confirm that it is pronounced "bay-gul" with a hard g

 

 

that's not stopping me from imagining you pronouncing it as "boggle" though XP

I think it's adorable and it's okay.

STOP PRONOUNCING IT AND EAT IT. :angry:

 

I don't have a bagel though, and I didn't have one yesterday, so I can't. Sorry.

 

It's okay. Sorry for yelling.
