Didn't you type Shay-den-froy-duh, though? It's more like "Shar", in my opinion.
But yeah, Leo is a great website indeed!

Technically it's more like "Shah" then either Shay or Shar lol.
Though it all depends on your dialect I guess :) |

Good point but, yeah, that's because Stu and I don't pronounce the final r (I sounds like a Londoner with some sort of speech impairment, and Stu sounds like a bogan). |

:stongue:
Yeah, Lews, my accent doesn't really pronounce the 'r' sound in stuff like that. Like Lira said, it's more like 'ah' compared to the American 'arr' (:thepirate)
If you need clarification, let me know some words, and I'll record them :p (no singing/humming, I promise). |

Will you? :D
"Bead", "Bid", "Bed", "Bad", "Bard", "Bud", "Bird", "Bod", "Board", "Bawd", "Good", "Booed", "Bode", "Bald", "Bade", "Bide", "Bowed", "Buoyed", "Beard", "Bared", "Boor".
Because vowels are more diverse across different accents than consonants, I think these words are enough to tell you where a person is from most of the time. I'd record them myself but I'm not exactly a native speaker so I'm not sure if anyone would be interested =/ |

Haha, I missed this.
Will do, Lira. |

Awesome, thanks! Heh, I was actually surprised by a few things in your pronunciation: the way you said "bade" isn't nearly as wide as I thought it would be, and the way you said "good" apparently rhymes with the way an American would say "lute", though I need to check it visually later.
And by surprised I mean happy to see something interesting :) |

Lute -> good?
Don't think that sounds right to me :/
I'm using a pretty damn crappy recorder - It's my mp3 player - so it might not be very accurate.
I'll try and find the cables for our senheiser mic, that would be better. |

| Your pronunciations are exactly how I would say them Stu, though my immigrant twang would be more prevalent. |
