(sorry if I should have posted this elsewhere, but couldn't find anywhere relevant)
So I came across this on Wikipedia: Mispronunciation of title word Throughout the song, Bush pronounces "Wuthering" as "Wathering" ('wɔðərɪŋ) instead of ˈwʌðərɪŋ, as listed in the Oxford English Dictionary Now correct me if I'm wrong, but this means the CORRECT pronounciation of the 'U' is as in strut, mud, dull, gun, cup - which is how I've always pronounced it. Listening to the song, I have trouble hearing her 'incorrect' pronounciation - Maud, dawn, fall, straw, horse. To further clarify, I pronounce the U in Wuthering similar to Wondering or other - (w)othering...which is what phonetically seems correct, and what I hear in the song... Am I missing something? ![]() |
