I say it 'walter', but only because it annoys my boyfriend.
Simply hilarious! I pronounce it "waa-ter". Which is...the way it is pronounced. Right?
Anyway,Have a waterlogged Spike:
I am saying "wah-ter", but in American place I am at is say "wooder!" Is all different with accent!
I am like story, very cute!
This was actually really well written. You get a like and fave.
This fanfic completely fails to get it right. It's so wrong it's not even funny.
Derpy's a deliverymare, not a mailmare.

DAMNIT THAT'S IT GAME OVER!
Wadder. Wadder. See? Water.
Holy Shit Soundspeed just read my fic
Auga!
Itsˈ(wȯ-tər orˈwä-tər) according to Merriam Webster online. H2o and you are good to go.
I actually say it like Spike, although my phonetics teacher says it "wooder" (I wanted to write about rhotic and non-rhotic accents, but probably no one would care anyway
)
Relevant vid is relevant:
or pony version:
and am i the only one that just pronounces it wa-ter? (or wah-ter, spelling doesn't really change it)
Halarious!
That ending sold it for me. Most excellent.
Just thought I should point a few things out:
Forgot to separate the dialogue from the narration
Forgot an "h" at the end of wash
Not trying to nag. A fic this great shouldn't have such mistakes.
"Way-ter" Oh, that Derpy!
There's a video like this online. It has Derpy, Twilight and some other pony. I can't remember what it was called, though. One line was "You're gonna shoot me if I shoot myself? That doesn't even make any sense!" Please tell me if you know what I'm talking about.

I do. It's linked in the comments below.
3416528 Thank you! I looked and found it!
Say it right:
Wah Ter, wahter, water
Not WAY ter or WAR ter* (*wtf? People really say that?) it's wah-ter
This is a very interesting debate, however I am from Baltimore and we say water a little differently.
Wu-ter
Yeah it even sounds strange to me.
the dictionary.com pronunciation of it is "wot-er". though i say it more with a "wod-er" instead of a t.
and dat fireman!!
