Major Robert Thornbird: Our cameras saw some sort of weapon.

Jack O'Neill: Oh, well it's hard to say.

Major Robert Thornbird: Some sort of state secret?

Jack O'Neill: No. Just difficult to pronounce.

I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.

It's not hard at all. But due to the fact that stealing other people's words and aggressively mispronouncing them seems to be the official British pastime, I don't give a fuck how you pronounce it. I'll pronounce it how it's spelled, or any other way I damn well please.

There are more of us than there are of you. It's our language now, you're an anachronism.

It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.
