An American trolled the entire UK for how we pronounce ‘vitamins’ and these Brits bit back in spectacular style
Time now to return to the cultural chasm that divides the UK and the US and this time it’s the comedy way us Brits pronounce words.
Well, comedy in the eyes of the country which just returned Donald Trump to the White House, obviously.
And word of the week is … vitamins! No, we didn’t see it coming either.

Shots fired! Vitamin shots, that is.
And these Brits bit back in spectacular style.

Yeah we pronounce the “i” and the “t”as opposed to saying “vydamins”?
See also; Americans saying“inner net” instead of “internet”?

The word was invented by Casimir Funk and Sir Jack Cecil Drummond in London (England) about 100 years ago, so I’m afraid it’s safe to say that you guys have got it wrong, but we’re just too polite to laugh at you.

If there’s one thing that’ll make me patriotic it’s Americans trying to tell English people how to speak English https://t.co/qPoic5CYl0

Mate, I’ll see your British “vitamins” and raise you with the American pronunciation of “niche.”
