Evinrude


Why did the pronunciation keep changing? Just wondering.

reply

Accents. Miss Bianca has Eva Gabor's Hungarian accent, while the Swamp Folk like Ellie Mae, and Bernard have southern United States and New York accents, which pronounce certain things differently.

Got it, thanks. This really confused me as a kid (I kept thinking, "did they go over the script or not?")

reply

So which one is the correct pronunciation?

reply

Well, which pronunciation of "potato" is correct? Unlike Spanish or German, the English language is not phonetic and has no consistent guidelines, so accents and dialects are going to influence over the pronunciation of different words. Ellie Mae's accent is one found within the English language's dialects, whereas Miss Bianca's is foreign (influenced by the Hungarian language), however, I would personally consider both to be correct or acceptable.
