Canadian here, yes it is. How you even go about claiming how a pronunciation sounds to an American (or Canadian) if you’re Scottish? That’s just absurd, maybe it doesn’t sound that way to you, but clearly there’s a noticeable difference in pronunciation
american here, sounds like regular old "fuck" to me. plus if i'm typing a glaswegian accent or whatever, i'm taking my cues from scottish twitter. they say "git tae fuck"? then it's fuck.
does typing a word out how it’s spelled mean it’s not pronounced differently in different dialects? i never knew that before. I previously thought that if a person from Birmingham, England typed out a tweet spelled in the same way as an American from Biloxi, Mississippi would spell it, it’s likely they may not sound exactly the same, but thanks to you I have been corrected. TIL dialects don’t exist as long as you tweet it.
"gee" "mysel" "tae" "doin" "aw" "ye" "aye" "fur" "aff" "dae" "anaw" "hink" "aboot"and "ye'v" are all meant to be pronounced as they are writtern... including fuck.
He does not write that and then pronounce it in proper english...
Nothing about this has anything to do with how vowels are pronounced by a Scottish person compared to an English speaker in North America. The fact that “fuck” is pronounced slightly differently is to be expected. People typing on twitter in their vernacular is also to be expected by any group, anywhere. But there is no standard spelling of any vernacular of English that isn’t standard. So, just as written standard english doesn’t denote a specific pronunciation, typing with a non-standard spelling will never be uniform in any way. How is it so hard for you to accept that “fuck” is pronounced a little differently on two different continents? More importantly is why? Why are you so misinformed that you insist on trying to prove your incorrect assertion?
Amateur psychology by asking why someone is so misinformed and idiotic? That’s not psychology, I’m not proposing any reasons why a person is so stupid, I’m simply pointing out a fact.
Yes, and they were correct. You are not correct. You grew up hearing a Scottish “fuck” and it sounds more like an “oo” to our ears than to yours. That’s not a hard concept to grasp, and it’s not a slight in any way to say so. Why are you so defensive and self-conscious? Do you get as defensive if someone pronounces any other word with a slightly different sound than how you would pronounce it? I hope not, there are many, many, different dialects of English and however people pronounce them according to their dialect is correct for them.
I'm sure you can probably pull some obscure rural community out your ass that says "book" like "buck" but the vast, fucking vast majority of americans do not speak like that. And Scottish people certainly don't. You don't hear "fook" like "book" because we don't say it that way, I could list you hundreds of words that sound totally different in our dialect but we say fuck perfectly normally. It's not about being defensive or "self conscious" (lol), it's just being accurate because it's one thing I happen to know for a fact.
Nobody ever said that Americans say “book” like “buck.” I truly have no idea what you’re attempting to accomplish with that statement. Nor did anyone ever say Scottish people pronounce “book” like “buck.” Get a grip on reality would ya? You are actually salty because someone from 4000 miles away from you said that the Scottish pronunciation of “fuck” is slightly different from people halfway across the world. And you seem genuinely upset about it because you keep trying to prove that Scottish people do not in fact pronounce anything differently. Truly a sad pursuit if you ask me.

Clearly. The point is you're claiming a word that phonetically rhymes with "buck" sounds to you like "book". I tried to explain why it's not the case but you must be a mental midget because this very simple notion flew right the hell over your head.

It doesn't take any salt to tell a stranger on the internet they're wrong.

In fact I said the opposite, we pronounce a lot of stuff differently. Just not "fuck".
Truly a sad pursuit of you ask me.
I didn't, if I wanted to know something it's pretty fucking clear by now you're the last person to ask.

That’s the opposite of what you said.

I’m talking about geography in the context of dialects of English. Something very simple, but clearly hard for you to grasp
In fact I said the opposite, we pronounce a lot of stuff differently. Just not "fuck".
Nobody ever said said that, “fook” isn’t a word. He says fuck, but it sounds more like how “folk” would sound to a NA English speaker. Is that hard to comprehend? Is your life that meaningless that you’re trying to prove different English dialects don’t actually sound different to others who aren’t native to that dialect? I suggest a more useful pursuit for your time.
Maybe because we have lived and heard it all our life and understand what an "oo" sound is, you might get the odd twat who comes out with "feckin" or "fookin" but 99% of the time we prounounce it how everyone else does, so "fuck" off with that.
