#1091 How To Pronounce Asphalt, Sarah's Japanese Twittering, Golf Club Smuggling Fail

How do you pronounce asphalt? Have you heard anyone say "ash + felt" before?

I did a bit of a search online and found people saying that "It was a Michigan thing" and that "many Canadians" say it with the sh sound.

I can't make myself say the other pronouncation... sounds too much like "ass-felt" to me...

I know what you mean. I think I might just avoid talking about asphalt for the rest of my life :) It's not like it comes up in conversation much anyway.

"Ash-FAULT" or "Ass-FAULT" NEVER "ash-FELT" or "ass-FELT" - Vancouver, Canada.

[nadrianairda]

I pronounce it Ash-fault or Ass-fault (Toronto, Canada), as do most people here.
