Some expresso with that...

I stand corrected (no I'm not going to stand up); guess I should have got it out of the fridge for that. Wor-ces-ter-shire.....that's better. Thanks to the CBC I know that Reading rhymes with beddding, (though why still escapes me).

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead.
However, on opening a new bag of beans this morning, I spotted the contentious "expresso" word (see attached).

So, someone told me the other day, that when making instant coffee, you shouldn't use just boiled water as it is too hot and will scald the coffee (impeding the flavour). He recommended waiting about a minute before pouring the boiled water on the coffee. Any truth in that?

The truth is: when making coffee never use instant coffee.
Disgusting stuff.

This isn't mispronounced, just a very bad grammatical error - pierogis. What do you need the 's' for? 'Pierogi' is already in the plural, why add another plural??? Just wrong. Wrong. Very wrong.
On that note, I need to go make some for Christmas...

Laziness, in the context of coffee, includes buying cups of the stuff from anywhere. Anywhere at all.
I always make my own.

I'm so lazy I load the coffee maker when I'm done drinking it so next morning all I have to do is flip the switch.

L’ Outaouais
That's the region where I live. The tourism guys here do not promote the place in Liverpool because the name sounds rather like an invitation.

And not forgetting my very favourite (and doubtless deliberate) Canadian Anglicization of a French word. When I first drove from Montreal to Toronto, as we approached Belleville, there was a sign for the Bay of Quinte. It looked like a French word. I mentally pronounced it as such. And was much relieved, later, to discover it's actually pronounced "kwinn-tea." ![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)

For Keswick Canadians pronounce the 'w' and Spurs land is pronounced as Tot-en-ham
