Half a Euro per kilo (or chilo) seems really, really cheap to me. Maybe they're nasty-tasting fruit.

looks like those fruit orange -pardy

I hope they kept a watch on the rind.

Those teams sure view each other with a jaundiced eye.

... at least for safety's sake they're wearing blaze o_____.


May the lord have mercy on my soul.

oranges poranges nothing rhymes with oranges

Orange is another one of those words I cannot pronounce American-style. Well I think I can if I try hard enough, but my kids just laugh at me.

Don't forget sporange, Shawnee, it's a pack of spores. Like a seed pod.

I just realized.
Especially with the football pads, all they need is to use one white bronco instead of two brown horses to make an artful re-staging of OJ Simpson's arrest.

Door hinges.:rolleyes:

I rest my case. :rolleyes:

I give up. How on earth do Americans pronounce orange then?
I've been trying as many different ways as I can think of and they all seem improbable....

as in Home on the O'______.

;)

Well Bruce was alarmingly close with his door hinges. But I can't even do it, let alone describe it! :lol:

However, never one to resist a challenge (and all y'all in the chosen land please remember I'm surrounded by Michigandans, Canucks and U of M students, so when it comes to representing the whole of the county ymmv.....)

Say "oar" and then try to picture that the sound is above your tongue towards the back of the mouth. Now say it again, but put the sound under the tongue (this may make you push your chin forward) and breath out as you say it. Then say Eng as in engineering -exactly as you would say it in engineering -same stress.

It's bizarre that such a simple word should be so hard, but kids make great litmus paper and mine assure me that orange is a word that reveals me as a foreigner. (Squirrel and Mirror are the other two that come to mind right now)

Go to the relevant page on Merriam Webster and click on one of the two little red speaker symbols. I think my pronunciation is a little closer to the first one, but I probably use both interchangeably myself.

yes, that first one is pretty similar to what I hear round here. Perhaps a little more stress on the first syllable. It's the vowels that cause me the grief. I know, I'm strange.
