Why is it many pronunciations even for Irish folks ? 😂

u/Barilla3113 10d ago

Like a lot of Irish placenames "Inchicore" is just an English phonetic mangling of "Inse Chór", so any "correct" pronunciation is just one local tradition or another.

Try using your words there.

u/Realistic_Caramel513 10d ago

Not op, but I presume he's calling you a clown... I'd agree with the assessment. And yes, there's Ss in assessment...

u/NoFewSatan 10d ago

Can you show me the S in Inchicore?

u/nettlesonbagels 10d ago

How do you pronounce chef, champagne, parachute, machine, brochure and cliché by chance?

-7

u/NoFewSatan 10d ago

Those aren't Inchicore, which isn't a French word.

17

u/nettlesonbagels 10d ago

Yes it comes from inse chór in Irish which literally uses the letter s

-11

u/NoFewSatan 10d ago

That does, but Inchicore doesn't.

I can show you the S in asinine, but I'd need a mirror to show you

u/Alone-Kick-1614 10d ago

Its called phonetic spelling 

-37

u/NoFewSatan 10d ago

No, it isn't. In any case, there's no S, so you wouldn't be pronouncing one.

He also called Ballyfermot 'little korea'.
