I'm still waiting with a high level of hope for a newsreader to tell me about the Large Hardon Collider. They're all so careful about saying it correctly...

is it like haddock or hadrian?

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Hadrian, but not that different to haddock either! The emphasis is on the first syllable anyway.

I'd say there was a fairly big difference between 'hay' and 'had' =p

hrm, now you are making me wonder if i pronounce hadrian right, arg

I was talking emphasis, not vowel sound :)

watch BBC news with the subtitles on - i've seen the "large hardon collider", and yesterday i saw "the large hide Ron collinder"!

Ah yes, although when I saw the subtitles, they were all perfect too unfortunately!
