HelpRe: I know EXACTLY what you mean!!
in reply to a message by sweet(:
I don't agree that Americans who pronounce Katy as "Kady" are saying it incorrectly. They are just saying it in an American accent. I wouldn't say that Americans who pronounce "latter" as "ladder" and "kitty" as "kiddy" are incorrect, either. It's the American accent, and there is nothing inherently wrong with it.
An American named Patty, who is used to hearing her name pronounced "Paddy", could go to Britain, hear it pronounced "Patty" with the T emphasized, and then say that the Britons are pronouncing it "incorrectly." I wouldn't support that, and I would think it was insulting. So it works the same way the other way around.
