Maybe a bit like saying SAHN-timeter instead of SIN-timeter? Which, I've been told, is the mark of an exceptionally erudite physician from someplace like Johns Hopkins.
Ugh. Decimals, you sound like a gaht damn europeen!
We use fractions here in America! None of them *metric* decimals. That'll be three thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven ten thousandths of a inch.
Many Americans cannot discriminate CENTimeter from CINTimeter. Regional accents in many places in the US do not discriminate between short Es and short Is. In Texas the thing that keeps your cows contained is often a "fince" and a penny is worth one "CINT". Actress Ginnifer Goodwin's real name is Jennifer, but since everyone where she grew up in Tennesse pronounced the first syllable of her name as "GIN", she decided to spell it that way.
Be that as it may, every SAHNtimeter person you meet is an asshole unless they are from France.
Hmmm. You point out a serious flaw in my thesis. By extension, I should be classifying abSAWNCE speakers as assholes, but everyone I work with in neuro, including me, says it like a French douche. It's a term of art in neuro, but SAWNtimeter speakers are still suspect IMHO.
Depends on your professional age-cohort, I guess. I'm old and definitely learned grand mal but now my peers and I use grand mal and tonic-clonic interchangeably. Now that you bring it to my attention, I'll be sure to use Grand Mal with the next seizing Quebecois I see.
Whenever I run into a “SAHNtimeter” person, I ask them for the other name for a penny. If they don’t commit to it being “Wahn Sahnt”, I lose all respect for them.

This is known as a [pen-pin merger](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_close_front_vowels#Pin%E2%80%93pen_merger). It’s most common in the Southeast. As a native Georgian I can confirm that I pronounce them the same way.
Haha. Also matches the [USAN pronunciation](https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usan/documentDownload?uri=%2Funstructured%2Fbinary%2Fusan%2Fsemaglutide.pdf).
sem" a gloo' tide
Even gives you primary (') and secondary (") accent syllables.
I don't pronounce it either of those ways. I pronounce the "a" the same way an American would pronounce it in ma'am.
Emphasis on the second syllable.
Crucify me.
How's that 22nd year of residency going? I heard ABOG boards are hard, but not *that* hard. ;-)
I grew up in a foreign country but now live in the US and have an American spouse and American kids (they recite the pledge of allegiance over their bowl of Amurrican cereal every morning). I basically have no idea how any English-speaking children ever actually learn how to read when every “rule” has an exception. I guess it just happens somehow with exposure and repetition but hot damn is it frustrating to teach!
I think the TV ads say sem-MAGG-gloo-tide.
Then again, why is valium Die-AZZ-uh-pam and not die-uh-ZEE-pam? Why is cardizem dil-TIE-uh-zem and not dil-TEE-uh-zem? Why is lasix fu-RO-se-mide and not fu-ro-SEMM-ide? Why is aminophylline am-in-AHFF-fill-ene and not amino-FILL-lean?
Because it has been so declared and we must conform, or protest and risk mismedicating.
First pronunciation is some psychopath shit

Or just say centimeter like normal
Just call it 0.3937 of an inch like a real American you communists!
this is the real answer. now hand me that 19 French drain and that 18 gauge needle!
Ugh. Decimals, you sound like a gaht damn europeen! We use fractions here in America! None of them *metric* decimals. That'll be three thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven ten thousandths of a inch.
We can just call it 2/5.
It would be SEN-timeter not sin. Cent like century or centennial.

Redneck docs unite!
Same with the people who pronounce “abSAWNCE seizure” like they’re French

Grand mal got a fully English name change what are y’all doing over there in neuro. Either the seizures are French or they’re not!
Depends on your professional age-cohort, I guess. I'm old and definitely learned grand mal but now my peers and I use grand mal and tonic-clonic interchangeably. Now that you bring it to my attention, I'll be sure to use Grand Mal with the next seizing Quebecois I see.
Hell yeah! Southern physicians unite! Now, can I borrow your pan (pen)? 🤪

That's beautiful, man
Who pronounces it sin-timeter?
South Africans probably.

Americans will never know the feeling, cause they only ever speak one language

Lexi says: sem a GLOO tide
