Is that how 'glacier' is pronounced normally in England? From a curious Australian,(reply>), I've had it pronounced many ways. where I grew up in the Western U.S. I always heard it pronounced GLAY-SURE.,(reply>), Thanks :) That's so interesting!,(reply>), Here in the US I usually hear it said like GLAISCH-ear, like with about 2 1/2 syllables.  But my gut tells me yank pronunciation is probably not looked toward as a de rigeur standard. ;),(reply>), Not 'normally', no, but it is the "correct" way apparently. The common way is with the 'ay' sound.,(reply>), I would say it like glaycier, but both are used.
