Torn-aments.

Do you like Alonzo Murn-ing?

What do you like better: the Burn Identity or the Burn Supremacy?

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty sure we all know English isn't consistent. We also have words like scour, hour, etc. But that doesn't mean the word is pronounced TOWR-nuh-ments.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fair enough, but I can't think of any examples of a "-ourn" that are pronounced any different. Can you think of any off the top of your head?

When I saw TURNament, I thought of Bill Fillmaff's pronunciation, which I always found weird. He pronounces it like "turn" (4th street)-ament. I think pronouncing it "torn" (ripped)-ament is also weird.

The word is derived from "tour", so it's "tour"-nament. Which is in between the two above.

So if you're arguing for either one in the OPs post, you're wrong.

So you say TWO-urh-nuh-ment? Wtf? LOL [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Good point, I don't even know anymore. I know it's neither torn nor turn, but it's closer to torn.
