Tell him there is no such thing as the 'proper' way to pronounce words. Different countries pronounce words differently.


While it is true that there are many different, yet all correct, pronunciation of words, there ARE still correct ways to pronounce them.

Example:

Tomato

ToMAYto
ToMAHto
TOOmeetoo

The third one would be an incorrect pronunciation of the word tomato.
