How do you pronounce "vermicelli"?

http://dictionary.reference.com/dic?q=vermicelli

ver·mi·cel·li - [vur-mi-chel-ee, -sel-ee]

I've always pronounced it -sel-ee but just this past weekend, I heard one person say -chel-ee and then she said I was wrong. So I'm not wrong since you can say both, so I want an ATOT poll to decide it!

ver - me - chell - eeeeee

You're probably one of those people who pronounce "Monticello" as mon-t-eh-sell-oh.

If I ever heard anyone pronounce it vur-mi-sell-ee I would promptly unleash a flurry of devastating punches to their face. Everyone knows this.

How do you pronounce fettucine?

Note: this is a rhetorical question.

It bugs me when people say things like "vermiselli," "halapeenos," "eye-talian," and "jie-rows." A less irritating one that I still notice would be provolone/calzone (you're supposed to pronounce the E at the end of these words but no one in America ever does).

 

[grrl]

In Italian c = /ch/ and ch = /k/

Man I had this same argument with my co-worker last week. In French I say sel-e, but he said it is che-le... he looked it up on wiki and said it is supposed to be che-le. I am going to stick with sel-e tho.
