GUEST,Learaí na Láibe Celtic Perversity or English. (50) RE: Celtic Perversity or English. 17 Jun 09


Thyme pronounced without the 'th' is not peculiar to Hiberno-English. I was taught, rightly or wrongly, that "thyme" and "Thames" were exceptions and that the 'th' should not be vocalised.

Most educated people in Ireland do pronounce 'th' in ordinary speech. Our ex-Taoiseach (prime minister) Bertie Ahern was an exception and people made fun of his 'dises ' and 'dats'.
