I P Knightley Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Wrong Jay, is American English Did you grow up in Edinburgh? I'd say that less than a quarter of my schoolmates (guid Edinburgh comprehensive) used "Jye". Of those who stayed on after getting some O-grades, that fraction would have fallen to about a twentieth. And that was long before we were inundated with Americanisms; the place had barely been discovered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2NaFish Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Bgt winner, scots opera guy,what is his name again? Jai. If it was just J and pronounced Jai it might mean something, but just because Kai is a boys name doesnt mean that K is pronounced Kai.

Don Draper Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 "Jigh" is definitely a Scottish English thing, but it appears to be dying out. Never said it myself, and don't remember many people saying it growing up in Edin. "Jay" is not American English, though. It's English English!

Never said it myself, and don't remember many people saying it growing up in Edin. "Jay" is not American English, though. It's English English! That's the main thing here. No one is denying that "jai" crops up now and again in various working class scottish dialects, but to say that the correct "jay" is an American English thing is laughable. What bubble is he living in that he thinks all of the British English speakers of the country say "jai"? Can you imagine the Queen saying Jai?

aussieh Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Unfortunately we're not that separate a nation from the US any more... aussieh. With the advent of the 6th television channel, the world wide web, and an abundance of social media channels, the cultures of the US and UK have merged significantly. We pick up a lot of theirs, and they pick up some of ours. It's not that modern a phenomenon. Today's youth are perpetually exposed to the american culture, and grow up seeing it no different to our own. You can no longer cherry pick the bits you like and the bits you don't. Face it dude, your kids are going to a totally awesome prom when they graduate high school. You must shake with rage anytime this boy shows up. JAI ZED in the hoose.

Tazio Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 It's just a Scottish way for saying it, maybe even more localised than that. Like people that say Hearts play in marone.

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Sleeky wee nomarks who try to take over at work, when in reality, they are probably the lowest grade and experience and owe any authority they somehow have to being able to crawl to their boss because they have no self respect, no respect for anyone else and most likely, no life outside their work. I don't work in your team, you have no team. I am not part of your work, I have my own work to get on with. How can you say you are busy when you manage to wander off for coffee constantly, chatter to anyone and everyone who passes, organise night out, seat moves and generally crawl to anyone with any real power. Can't wait until I can retire and tell said person/persons what I really think of them instead of having to grit teeth and get on with them.
