Inwale pronunciation

[stepcut]

Gunwale is often pronounced as 'gunnel' -- and sometimes even spelled that way. But is 'inwale' always pronounced 'in whale'? The idea of saying 'innel' seems absurd, but I figured I better check first Same goes for outwale.

[Canoeyawl]

Or chain-wales

It just depends on the placement of the wales

[Peerie Maa]

Gunnel and Channels are the only components shortened AFAIK.

[birlinn]

Hand-wales is different.

Down here in the Bilge, however, it just might lead to fist-a-cuffs.

It is pronounced "in-wall".

There. I have spoken.

That's what I'd thought. And I read it in an old book so you know its true. I want to say Culler, or maybe Gardner

Actually, I had never heard of "corking a seam" until I watched the Tally-Ho videos.
To me, it is "caulking a seam".

There. I have spoken again.

Let's take the military term lieutenant.
The Brits say "leftenant".
We yanks say "lewtenant".
But, I suppose since you folks had armies long before ours, I'll
give this one to you.

The Aussies have New South Wales.


The pronunciation that really grates on me is sodder when they are talking about solder. The L is not silent!

[Garret]

In Wales means things are spelled funny.

So now I suspect some (maybe somebody in Vermont) will pronounce those names: Cull-Yarr and Gawd-Ner.

I might live in Vermont now but I was born on Long Island, raised in the Adirondacks and now live here.
My accent is totally screwed up!

Around here, the studs they put in the soles of logging boots are called "caulks". And pronounced "corks".

True VT bronounciation would be along the lines of Cullough & Gahdnah. However, real examples of VT dialect are disappearing fast.

That being said - I'm not a native either (though next year will be my 50th year here) - but a while spent living in Arkansas after growing up in CT means my accent is just odd.
