[DearGreatLeader]

how do you say "record"

 

theres 2 types of record

Well, not really. They both capture data and then send it somewhere, so it is the same meaning essentially.

... N-..No.

Record

Pronounced Re-cord - to write something down.

Pronounced Re-curd - A disc such as a Vinyl Record. Curd as in how you would curdle milk.

I have always heard record when talking about things like Vinyl Records be pronounced almost like Wreckered. Rather than how you say you would record something.

For a disc, the ord part is pronounced urd. Like turd. (LOL). For an action, the ord part is pronounced as ord. Like in Gourd (except without the weirdness of the U doing nothing to the sound). 

There are other examples of words like this that make more sense. Here:

 

* Bow (The President should bow to the Japanese Prime Minister) vs. Bow (I need to tie a bow knot in my shoe lace)

* Read (I read a book) vs. Read (I will read a book)

* Dove (Is that a dove or a pigeon that has landed on my head?) vs. Dove (I dove into the icy waters)

* Wind (The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind) vs. Wind (I will wind up the toy so it will walk)

* Present vs. Present (I present to you this present)

Many words have different pronuncations in English based on whether they are a noun or a verb. Record (noun) vs Record (verb) is like this as well.

No. They have to be pronounced the same to be a homonym.

It is however a homograph. Same spelling. But not a homophone. Same pronunciation.

Homonyms are both homographs and homophones.

[chilicheeseburger]

If you record musci on vinyl it's a record :blink:

In England we say record as in 'wreckord' for the 'vinyl record' useage and for 'making a record of something/writing something down' and record as in 'wrickord/wrickording' for the actual act of recording a sound or writing something down.

 

Your disc is 'urd' while mine is 'ord'.

 

The pronunciation varies by region, I don't think it's possible to write a definitive explanation for this that works for everyone and as a matter of fact I consider that pointing out the differences in pronunciation by region suffices as an explanation, it's just one of those foibles of our not completely phonetic language.
