Riccardo? Please let's pronounce it correctly

Yep, it’s toaster! Top marks!

Try welsh —. Llantrisant is clan-tri-sant. Llanelli is clan-eth-lee just as two examples - they clearly can’t spell, or can’t read, one or the other!

 

The lack of apparent vowels in Welsh was always puzzling. There's a neighborhood near Philadelphia called Bala Cynwyd (which was originally settled by Welshmen) that baffled newcomers, and there's still local disagreement on how to pronounce it.

 

They certainly would never win a spelling bee, that’s for sure!

 

They may not be able to spell mate but the Welsh girl I went out with in London had the best tits in the world ......... never asked her to spell supercalifragilistic ..... err forget it

 

As long as they don’t talk much, they are fine.... that welsh accent is a total anti-aphrodisiac to me..... makes me think of Ruth Madoc every time I hear it

 

lolo, i bet you got her naked into the shower you and +played some titty twister......you old dwag!!....

 

Eh up pet, its Ricky ow do

 

What's wrong with Al ?

Alfredo Pacino doesn't see anything wrong with being called Al.

 

Sorry for being so late Jim...
No, not in that case: as far as I am aware, his name has always been pronounced entirely, that is "Prost". And that's the way he prounonciate it also.
Final letters might sometimes be mute in french, such as in "Albert" = the french do not pronounciate the final "t", so "alber" it is, but in "Prost", all letters count.

In Brazil we also say "Ricardo" instead of "Richardo".
We don't say "Fan-hio" also. We say "Fangio".

 

Brazilians are Latin language speakers also but we pronounce "Ricardo" because we heard this is how he want to be called.
