Poll: Airplane or Aeroplane?

[Necron_warrior]

Well escapists, which word do you use?

I swear this isn't procrastination for anything...

 

[Jonluw]

Depends on how fancy I want to be.

Now pardon me, but no more buttered scones for me mater: I'm off to play the grand piano.

 

[Quaxar]

Three-dimensionally moving mass-transport locomotion machine.

Oh yes, I'm so classy I wear monocles in the shower.

 

[Zhukov]

There are people on this earth who use "airplane"?

Weirdos.

 

[Chemical Alia]

Wow, I seriously didn't know "aeroplane" was actually a thing.

 

[madwarper]

It's 'Airplane!'

Then again, where I'm from, we don't go around adding unnecessary vowels to words. Such as 'Armor', 'Color' or 'Honor'.

Apparently the two people below you

It's 'Airplane'.

I think you mean, 'Where I'm from, we subtract unnecessary vowels from words, such as Honour, Colour and armour'

Ha, this will end well.

Now that I think about it, I write airplane but it sounds a bit like aeroplane when I say it though sometimes it sounds like airplane. AHHH! This isn't worth thinking about!

Oh shit, lol. I'm serious, though, I thought that was some archaic spelling.

 

[sextus the crazy]

I generally use airplane and the American versions of words in general. Although oddly enough, I pronounce the word "schedule" like "shedule".

It's 'Airplane'.

At least we bother to prounounce "Veteran" & "Lieutenant" properly.

How do people pronounce veteran? I've always done vet-eh-ran

I'll give you Lieutenant, though I still prefer saying left-tenant.

 

[Cazza]

Aeroplane

Aren't Americans the only ones that call it an airplane? For the rest of the english speaking world it's aeroplane. You should also ask which country they are from to find out. Being in Australia I have never heard anyone say call it an airplane, it's always aeroplane.

 

[scorptatious]

Here in America we use "airplane". Not sure about the rest of the world though.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I usually just say plane, or aeroplane I guess. Airplane sounds a bit strange.

I pronounce it Vet-er-an, but I heard the british (along with lost of people here in the states) pronounce it Vet-tran.

 

[Muspelheim]

Aeroplane, mostly because it just sounds more... Colourful somehow. I also do say "Auto" whenever I can get away with it. C'mon, it sounds better, honest.

Oh, and metric system über alles! It's just better. :3

 

[Lucem712]

I like Aeroplane, though I pronounce it 'airplane' because I'm a classless hick who says 'y'all' on a regular basis

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Airplane. I've always said it that way. The other just seems weird to me.
