Caramea why? Song.

Funny this should be a question. Everyone we know says CARMEL, but due to the spellling, CAR-AH-MEL is probably the correct pronunciation, if you want to be technical. DH and I have a favorite Hallmark Christmas movie called "A Veteran's Christmas". In it there is a scene where caramel corn is mentioned and they said "Car-ah-mel Corn". It sounded so weird to us.

I say car-mul, but I never touch the stuff.

Cara-mel. If they didn't want you to Pronounce that A, why'd they put it in there?

Isn't it funny how some teacher quotes stick with you forever?
@faeriemoonYes, it is! I had another teacher (10th grade) who corrected me with the spelling of a lot. I always wrote it "alot" until he gave me a B+ on an essay. The reason being that it is incorrect and two separate words.
Unless of course you are using the verb "allot."

care-uh-mell.....if I had the proper symbols on my laptop keyboard, I'd use the phonetics symbols I learned in college back in the late 60s! Probably not even used today! LOL!

One could ask the same question about a great many other words in the English language.
