The Ultimate Question..

How do you pronounce "Bath"? }

"Baf" or "Barth"?

Both seem to be commonly used among people, but I'm curious to see how the majority of the Escapists say it?

I personally pronounce it "Barth", I have no idea why, it just rolls off the tongue easier

Edit: Okay, the Poll got eaten...Damn it..

Southerners pronounce it with a long 'a' sound; northerners pronounce it with a short 'a' sound.

Cockneys pronounce 'th' as an 'eff' sound.

I say bath. As in bah-th, I think that's a good way to describe it.

I didn't realise there were other ways of saying it!

I pronounce it 'bath' with a short 'a' sound as I'm from the north of England. Southerners typically pronounce it 'barth' with the long 'a' sound.

That's how I pronounce it to. Bah-th. Sounds right to me.

I don't understand what issue people have with pronouncing it.

I don't get what you mean. Am I not allowed to say how I pronounce it and why? Saying I'm from the north seemed relevant

I'm sorry, I didn't realise that how the south pronounced it was also influencing you.

I was just saying, there's no need to be so condescending.

NO! Only one person is allowed to say a specific thing on the internet! Then no one else is!

OT: I didn't know there was other ways to pronounce it but Bah-th.

It was meant humorously, My apologies for putting you on the defensive.

Sorry but I didn't take it that way, it seemed like you being genuine. If you were just joking then don't sweat it

There's no 'r' in it, so I pronounce it the correct Northern way. Just like the word "bastard".
