Just out of curiosity how do you you all pronounce the word ‘carbine’?
Car b’eye’n (what do beans have to do with anything?)
Car bean (how could the British know more about guns than Americans?)
Assault Rifle (it needs to be banned before it can run away and shoot school children)
0voters
Now remember different people pronounce it differently, and that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to be cussing people out. (but we all know the one objectively true pronunciation )
The question isn’t whether carbine should be pronounced ‘car-bine’ or not, the question is how is ‘-bine’ is pronounced. Is it pronounced like sardine, limousine, machine, etc. or like decline, shine, confine, etc. or like masculine, discipline, doctrine, etc.
