It doesn't matter because you should never speak of it out loud in your real life.

"Politically" is pronounced as "pole" in an American accent, and it's an American board.

If you had any sort of social life, you'd probably know someone who also visited 4chan, and you might say at one point in your life, "Hey, did you see X?" So, fuck you, you hypercuck shitlord.

Why do Americans say ''Warll' when pronouncing 'Wall'? This popped into my head when I saw that gif of the Banshee slag saying wall

In Britain we pronounce it as ''Waaw''

It's Paul. The word pol exists as a shortened or slangy form of "politician", and is pronounced like Paul.

Maybe the influence of Germanic people?

Loads of people came to the US with German, Dutch or Scandinavian native languages. American English is full of Germanic stuff. In America and Germany you take a shower. In England you have a shower.

Also, in German you have to pronounce every letter of the word. In England, that was never such a big deal. So German-Americans learning English would see a word like "Norwich" and pronounce it "nor-wich", instead of the British "norrich". This also explains the American ditching of the U in colour and spelling "realize" instead of "realise".

Never knew that about the German way of pronunciation. I can see why Americans do this too.

Also, there a place in London called Southwark. You pronounce it ''South-wark'', we pronounce it ''Suvverk''

On Lambeth, you say ''Lamb-eth'', we say ''Lambuth''

This board is called "Politically Incorrect". The root word for its shortened title is "Political". Thus, one pronounces "/pol/" like the first syllable of "Political".

>http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/political

tl;dr pole

I pronounce it paul in my head, but it feels dirty saying the names of 4chan boards irl. I just "4chan's politics board" or "4chan's television and film board", etc if I'm telling my gf or somebody that goes here about something I saw.
>>
>>68187376
That is my thinking exactly, though generally I just say '4chan' because there's no real point going into specifics as they just know it as 'that racist place that likes guys in dresses'.
>tfw no redpilled bf
fucking liberal faggots.
