Ages ago, we had a VT OT discussion on how to pronounce 'one'. My wife insists that it rhymes with 'run' (so the joke would work). I say it to pronounce with 'on'. Is this a Brummie thing?

No, that's apparently the posh, proper, RP way to say it. Mrs. M brooks no argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I pronounce “one” that way, rhyming with “gone”. For a while when I was a kid I would pronounce “won” to rhyme with “one/gone” as opposed to “gun”. It just seemed to me that would be how it should be said. I quickly stopped when other kids where asking me to say “we won one-nil”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she was barmy with her 'wun', but a straw poll suggested that I was in a minority. I refuse to change, though.

chrisp65 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I did know it was bostin’, honest. It was like, my joke on me trying to sound like a local and not having a clue. It’s like, I’m trying to blend in and I think I’m doing a good job. But you all know from the get go that I’m a ‘jam jam’. There, I did it again. Not really sure where I’m going with this.
