Orally Aural. Oh Really?

  • May 31, 2012, 6:35pm

I don;'t know if this is a regional thing or not but I am from the UK (West Midlands) and have always pronounced orally 'ore-ally' and aur'ally as is in 'ow, that hurt!-ally'. My partner has just stopped me in my tracks and told me I'm wrong but I'm usually right, so stuff him.
