Lira, I appreciate the in-depth analysis but I was j/k. Besides I can't see through flannel no matter how hard I tried to leer.
Alex that was a good one.

God, I hate English sometimes.
I was watching a stand-up comedian, and this guy called heckles him. "What's your name?" the comedian asks. "Craig", he says. "Funny", I think, it sounded like "Cregg". "Wait, is the 'ai' in 'Craig' like 'paid' or 'plaid'?" I wonder. And it turns out not even the natives can agree on that!
I swear I'm going to name my son Craig just so I can see the world burn. Or my daughter. You can't stop me now |
I speak English, just a variant of it. Have fun with that 
The "ai" sound for Craig, for me, is like "paid", and more like the southern parts of England. "Cregg" would be northern English, or Scottish.
"Plaid" to me is weird. I know the word because of the movie 'Spaceballs' (they've gone to plaid!).
American maybe? It should be "tartan", the traditional Scottish garb.
Just dropped in to complicate things!

Ooooh, it makes sense then! It happened in Glasgow, so it IS Scottish!
As for plaid, I didn't know I could say "tartan shirt". I knew the word, but I had always seen the expression "plaid shirt" instead, so I thought it was one of those fixed-phrases (like in Portuguese we say something similar to "chequered", but in isolation the word just refer to "checkers"). And I mispronounced it for years, as I thought it rhymed with paid.
I've had so many surprised I don't think I'd be shocked if you told me "Stu" is pronounced just like "Dave"
