So while watching videos on Youtube of different accents from different countries, and I came across the idea to post this thread. Depending on where you live, you might pronounce words differently. Or maybe that's just the way you personally pronounce it. So I'm going to give you a list of words, and you just tell me how you pronounce it. But to make it more interesting, say the word to yourself, and use the pronunciation you just said, not what you usually say.
Also, if you see that you use a different variation of this word (for example, "washroom" instead of "bathroom"), then please state that in your answer.

[size=1]1. Sure:
2. Process:
3. Syrup:
4. Pecan:
5. Water:
6. Roof:
7. Agile:
8. Hostile:
9. Iguana:
10. Pronunciation:
11. Niche:[/size]Mine!
1. Sure: "shore." Skylar always corrects me when I say it like this, but this is how I say it.
2. Process: "prah-cess."
3. Syrup: "sir-up." I know some people say it "sear-up."
4. Pecan: "puh-cahn."
5. Water: "wad-der."
6. Roof: Same as it's spelled.
7. Agile: "aah-jill."
8. Hostile: "hah-still."
9. Iguana: "eh-gwan-uh."
10. Pronunciation: "pru-nun-see-eh-shun."
11. Niche: "ni-chh."
So basically what I've come to realize is that I am a lazy American, and pronounce words the way most of us say them in the US.
