My buddy says "chasm" with a soft ch. We've tried to correct him. He doesn't hear us. He also pronounces "tome" like "tomb".

We play DnD together if anyone was wondering why these words would come up with any regularity.

I've heard "chasm" pronounced as both "chaz-um" and "kaz-um"

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

The correct one is "kaz-um," just like "chaos" isn't "chay-oss."

PTSD flashback to my ESL little self always mispronouncing choir after they told me to join to practice my English.

Another funny story! An ex of mine was an exchange student in Germany (from Canada) when she was a high schooler, and she attended a children's choir concert where they sang "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off", and in the line "you say tomato, I say tomato", they pronounced "tomato" the same way each time.

Does he say "chaos" with a soft "ch" as well?

He also pronounces “tome” like “tomb”

My roommate in college did that. Drove me nuts, but the worst was that he rhymed "epitome" with "tome."

Social studies teacher in high school dinged me 5 points for pronouncing epitome as epi-tome. Ended up with 95/100 but it's the principle of the matter.

I don't agree with that decision. Unless you had been specifically taught the proper pronunciation previously and still mispronounced it, the teacher should have just corrected you and moved on.

No, his chaos is thankfully chaos. It would be kind of fitting if it weren't, though.

"kazum" is acceptable in my book. "Toom" is strange for a book though.
