Hey Canadians

[loira]

I don't think I've ever said this word aloud. Based on its spelling, I'd probably pronounce it the second way.

Not Canadian, but that's not a word? Stalactites and stalagmites. On a side note, I should ask the Canadians I work with them to say them.

Maybe it is a word in the Canadian language?

Or maybe they pronounce it stranger than I'm imagining.

I assumed she meant stalactites and was trying to write it out phonetically.

Every Canadian I've ever met says it like "DEH-kull."  Real Americans say it like "DEE-Cal."

She's from Ontario which is practically American to the rest of us. 

DEH-kull is obviously more French-ish and refined. Don't even get me started on what Americans to do "foyer".
