Caribbean

Cah-RIB-e-an or Car-ruh-BE-an?

Just saw a commercial here for Royal Caribbean cruises and apparently here (and presumably, the UK) it's the latter. Seriously what the fuck? You euros can take the lead on the Mediterranean, but when it comes to our island vacation and tax evasion choice destination, let us Americans call the shots, K?

In fifth grade my teacher made me read something out loud, and I kept mispronouncing Caribbean by stuttering on the b's, so she gave me detention.

I still think it's funny to pronounce it ca-rib-b-be-an

She gave you detention for that??

Did your folks raise hell?

No, it was a long time ago though. I don't really care.

Cuh-RIB-ian is how I say it. Except for when I say Pirates of the Care-uh-BEE-in.

This is a matter of great importance.
