Another thread backfire by Lean L (aka iamanidiot)

Seriously, nearly every thread he makes, he has to ask something retarded. Then when he gets called out on it....hell, even when someone posts something he doesn't agree with, he immediately gets defensive and starts insulting people.

What a loser.

I've told you to use the ignore feature before. Honestly I don't get why you chase my threads like a fat kid chasing an ice cream truck.

"Barkley" is the correct pronunciation as the city of Berkeley was named after George Berkeley; and since it's his name, he can say it however he wants.

Thank you helpful person. So it's not even a rule and we pronounce it wrong in the US.

how is it wrong if everyone here pronounces it that way

No, we use American English here.

The city of Berkeley, California, was named after him, although the pronunciation has evolved to suit American English: ( /ˈbɜrkliː/ burk-lee).

Most things are pronounced incorrectly outside of their country of origin. Have you ever been to Versailles, Ohio? Give you a hint, they don't pronounce it vur-SY.

AND... You already this fact, so why the $%^& did you create this thread?

possibly, one of the dumbest threads I have the displeasure of opening.

Flame war aside, what is the answer to the OP's question whichis, basically: Why do Brits pronounce Berkeley as bahrk-lee? When I feed it into the british accent bot in my brain, it comes out: bAIRklee with a bit of a nasal harrumph at the end.

Because they're retarded and can't pronounce things correctly.
