Schedule pronunciation?
Lately, I've been hearing more and more people say it as shedule instead of sounding the c as I have been taught....skedule.
I was told it's a British thing, but it's seems to be gaining ground on tv and podcasts. Which way did you learn? It bugs me to hear it with a silent c.

It's like they are so proud of their backyard shed or something.

That is the British pronunciation but in American English that would be a lazy pronunciation. To me it's still like Sketchers.
I studied dialects in college. I traced various English accents to how America was colonized. Of course things evolved with all the immigration influence. The conclusion was by the time people reached the west coast they lost most of the various regional dialects. There are a lot of maps regarding this:

It's strange because I think it was less than five years ago that I first heard it that way.
The south east states speak Gullah?

That map is not all the impressive or accurate. In AL alone the dialect can vary county to county and sound much different than MS. GA is yet another that will vary from west GA to the coast. Yet they have it all lumped together. It's not like from my visits. |

My Spanish IV professor in college was from Madrid and his "thing" was proper enunciation .... until he gave up
 He'd spend 10 minutes with someone from "down east" having them "repeat after me" .... "Hola" over and over .... nope ... just ain't gonna happen

My Spanish II teacher in high school was from Mexico and she was almost 5ft tall and thin and cute. She called me Esteban. I can't speak Spanish at all. .
