I still can't get my head around the fact Hegemony isn't pronounced like Ceremony, "Hedge-eh-moany".
I was horrified to find out it's "heg" like "leg" and "emony" like "lemony". Such an uncomfortable word to say, it still trips me up every time I say it.
Gotta get a petition running to change that, I refuse to believe it isn't 'Hedge' - 'emony'. Honestly that's disgusting.
I think US citizens say 'Hedge-emony' while the british say 'Hegeh-emony'. At least that's what google thinks lol.
I'm American and literally never heard it pronounced hegehmony. Always hedge.
Yep, so that corroborates my comment. If you know someone british they may speak hegehmony.
That feels so unnatural!
I don't encounter it often but I seem to be thinking I've mostly heard it in the states as, "Huh-jemmuny"
Wait, what? Thanks, I hate it
Sir it is "hej" not "heg"
