Sixth, Not Sickth

[hellywelly4]

At last! I have always disliked the pronunciation of 6th as sickth instead of sixth. Now on PM tonight it was declared that SIXTH is correct. Yippee. (Some people are easily pleased).

[murraymints]

i aks you !!!

[hellywelly4]

Yes, that's another one!

[Calibax]

Yippee! Does this mean the end of fith (fifth) and twelth (twelfth) as well?

[hellywelly4]

We can but hope Calibax

[Prudie]

Sadly I don't think my hate will ever be corrected - lenth rather than length

[Sipowicz]

[Peter Pedant]

[Peter Pedant]

[DTCwordfan]

I want to H-ave t'noos.

[Tilly2]

I can't see the difference between Sickth and sixth. I don't do Maths!

[Peter Pedant]

I think Tilly means Maff

[Tilly2]

I mean I can't see/hear the difference. They both sound the same to me.
