I've heard it both ways. Is it a regional thing? Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice. ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ | ||

"Car-mul"/"carmle". That's definitely the norm in the South. | |||

Well crap. I never though about it before and now here I am saying it over and over both ways. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

Say it like it's spelled... with 2 a's! Cara-mel I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

I pronounce the 'a' in the middle. Just like it's spelled.  "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right!" - GhostBusters II "You have all the tools you need. Don't blame them. Use them." - Dan Worrall | |||

if it's on popcorn 'car mul' - carmul corn if it's in a candy bar 'kara mel' - I like mine loaded with peanuts and karamel ------------------------- “I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.

One is correct. The other suggests illiteracy. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

If it’s a soft chew, or something I would eat on its own, I would call it a kara mel. If it’s a coffee drink, ice cream topping, or ingredient I have always called in car mul. Not sure how, where, or why I call it that way.

I pronounce it the same way using all of the syllables. “There is love in me the likes of which you’ve never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape." —Mary Shelley, Frankenstein | |||

How do you pronounce “aunt” and “vase”? “I gave my ont a cara-mel colored vahse” or “I gave my ant a carmul colored vāse”? | |||

| Partial dichotomy |
Well, from now on it'll be caramel....as it's spelled. You've shamed me into it.  SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

Definitely car-mul for me. While I definitely see why people would pronounce it the way it's spelled, I just don't do it. | |||

So how would you say caramelized onions? | |||

"I gave my ant a cara-mel colored vayce".  And in your first instance, "vahse" should be "vahz". flashguyThis message has been edited. Last edited by: flashguy, Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I was raised to pronounce it 'carmul' but have since been pronouncing it caramel. Although, I go back to my roots when I say 'carmulized onions'. Soooo, I'm screwed up. Mrs DF and the boys rib me for saying 'white' instead of 'wyte'. I actually pronounce the 'wh' sound but not overly so. This is a source of amusement for my family.
