But I spent a couple of years in the UK working in technology, and I noticed as I was approaching the end of year 2 that this was slipping--it started feeling almost normal at that point to say "PRO-cess." Good thing I returned to the U.S., whew. :-)<br /><br />As an aside, I work with so many people from so many places around the world (still in technology) that non-American pronunciations (including the occasional differences among our Canadian friends) are unremarkable. Of course, if one of my non-work friends were to suddenly pop out with PRO-cess, that might raise an eyebrow or two.WordzGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04618408509448732889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690110675685389513.post-68986180350721282502015-11-02T18:39:54.159-08:002015-11-02T18:39:54.159-08:00You grew up near Cromwell's barn?

But my students probably think it's cute, if they think about it at all (sort of like my stories of growing up near Oliver Cromwell's barn). Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
