I think unless someone else has two dvr's in their house, I don't think anybody believes what I said.

Oh I believe you Naja. I know that you are technically very competent and knowledgeable about this stuff!

Kitt, same thing as when the governor of my fair state says "Cal-ee-four-knee-ya." <shudder>

But Arnie has a strong Austrian accent! I was asking an honest question, which bit of Simon's "Amereker" doesn't sound right to American ears?

I just though that Simon's "Amereker" was very distinctly British, as I have heard other Brits say it the same way. Nothing wrong with it, except the 'er', it's just the way he says it that tickles me.

Naja: Is your Tivo stand alone?
If so, then what you posted makes sense to me.
With my integrated DirecTivo, it will not record parts when the signal is lost and will show the total record time with the word "Partial". If the signal is gone for the whole show then I go right to delete like Trini's PVR.

Yep, just one. It'll be interesting if they give us a bottom three, so far we don't really know who has a fan following.

Thanks Kooklie, I just didn't understand what bit of the word was unusual. I guess my ears don't hear the difference.

I listen to Germans butcher English alot in my job, so I always notice these type of things. They learn British English, not American English. You would not think it, but British English is really different than American English. Add a German accent on it and well.... sorry, I digress. I'll leave now.

The King's English also has spelling issues. I still spell "behavior" the "wrong" way here in the States (I always want to do "behaviour".) :-)

Didn't we just have this conversation (at great length) over in the TAR thread? I do get a kick out of the way Simon pronounces "Amereker." Also "frusTRATed," as Ellen pointed out a couple of weeks ago. I used to have a British boss and was always amused at the difference in pronunciation. She barely had an accent, but once in a while a "passta" (short a) would slip out for "pahsta" (as in pasta).

And our govenor always sounds like he's saying some combo of California and cauliflower (ie "Cauleefourneeuh").

So, as one moderator suggested (on TAR thread) how about starting a separate thread to discuss all this English vs ???? pronunciations. When I come to these topical threads I am hoping to read things specifically about that topic. Thanks.

Heck, I would be tickled if Americans would speak English, I can't believe what I hear. People are making up words as they go along. I don't know what school these people attended and if they were taught grammar.
