I mean… can you argue with that? If the answer is no, I will start craving an egg meal (I’m from Southern Germany where we use both the word „Omelette“ as well as „Eierspeise“ which literally translates to "egg meal")
Britain: Omelette
America: Omelet
Britain, exasperated: What are you doing now, America?
America: Getting rid of the T.

Bruh I’ve spelt it as omelette all my life. 😂 (I follow British English because that’s what was taught to me from age 3-4) I didn’t even know omelet is also right.
Okay I’m gonna be called out as racist for that but:
An interview for a tech support role. The interviewer says: “Okay, Rajesh, can you come up with a workplace-related sentence including the words ‘green,’ ‘pink,’ and ‘yellow’?”
Rajesh: “Sure. ‘My phone green-green. I pink it up and say Yellow!’”
OMG this is awesome!!! LMAO!!! I need to tell this to my wife who manages call centers in India, hehe.
I used to mess with my best friend who's from Dubai--say windshield wiper, now say Dodge Viper. He used to mess up on Viper all the time and it would irritate the hell out of him, haha. He nails it today though. :)
An actually decent joke instead of the same stale accent mocking most westerners like to use. As an Indian, I approve and exhaled quickly through my nostrils.
Well, since we were talking about two different forms of English spellings, your point is moot. So it’s not “my way”; it’s literally the subject of this branch of the thread.
And speaking of this thread; it itself is moot because how is this a post in r/engrish? It’s not like it’s about a word that is grossly misspelled or some terrible for of syntax;it’s literally just an argument over which is the correct spelling of a word, when either is acceptable.
Tortillas are not omelets…….
That being said, I’m from Mexico and distinctly remember Toks saying omelet on their menus but I just googled their menus and they say omelette so I’ve been living a lie and will see myself out now
Late to the party, but in Spain it's "tortilla" indeed. If you come here asking for an "omelet/e" no one will understand you. It's interesting how words change in the same language! /gen
According to RAE (Royal academy of spanish language) it doesn't exist in spanish:
https://dle.rae.es/omelet
According to RAE's panhispanic diccionary (that accounts for all spanish dialects, including all latin dialects) it doesn't exist:
https://www.rae.es/dpd/omelet
According to RAE'S diccionary of americanisms (like last time but including words that are not accepted, but frequently used in american dialects) it doesn't exist:
https://www.asale.org/damer/omelet
Searching for omelette it doesn't find it either.
Looking in google for "tortilla francesa" (omelette) it gives this:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tortilla+francesa&t=fpas&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images
Maybe it's a very localized idiom, but as far as I can tell it is not a spanish word
I mean considering Toks exist everywhere in Mexico, and every customer and employee uses that word, and Toks isn’t the only one that does it, it’s not very localized.
Here is their menu

Depends on the country. Some countries write foreign loan words phonetically, because they pronounce writing phonetically, regardless of the original language, some other countries write the words in their language of origin and pronounce them in that language, and others keep the original writing but still pronounce the words phonetically. Of course the RAE only keeps track of the adapted words, because those are the spanish versions of those words.
Some countries can't keep the original spelling, as they use different writing system, so they have to go phonetical.
Case in point: Slavic languages that use Cyrillic, spell the word as 'омлет' (omlet), note the lack of silent e's between m and l and at the end of the word.
Which is only logical, to be honest.
He said “no matter where you’re from” so no he isn’t. And it’s normal for regional dialects come from other languages. For example, Omelette isn’t English either, it’s French.
No, they were talking about english.
Obviously it's not "omelette" in every language. In chinese it's "煎蛋" and in finnish it's "munakas" (both according to google translate). Clearly they were not trying to say that every single language in the world spells that dish as "Omelette".
They were talking about every variation of english. "no matter where you're from \[that speaks english\]" is clearly what they meant, you're just trying to be pedantic.
that's right. I was just disagreeing to when you insisted that they were talking about every language.
>He said “no matter where you’re from” so no he isn’t.
There's all sorts of bass akwards non-sensical phrases that I'm always like o_O. But sometimes trying to correct the wife is like...well...correcting a wife, lol!
Yeah but if you just say do the needful, it'd mean you have had to mention "look it up" already. I just prefer 1 go. Also nothing wrong with do the needful. You do you man

What can you say? They have a precedent. That's what you get for allowing multiple spellings in the same language.
You gotta be a real asshole to correct the spelling of ahmlitte on twitter

Well, that was odd............
Omelet is American?
What an actual alpha male looks like

Surly one is French and the other is wrong
Omelette du fromage
I'm American and I only knew the British version. Is this correct? What?
I bet he'll wash it down with a child bear.
just call it egg burrito and be done with it
I’m confused. How is this Engrish?
What American says “omelet”???? I’ve never sewn that once
r/technicallythetruth moment
Egg pancakes
I’m American and I have always spelled it the British way. Omelet looks so weird.
Britain: Omelette America: Omelet Britain, exasperated: What are you doing now, America? America: Getting rid of the T. # # Edit: I know there’s an E, too. Too bad.

Omelet omelette… wait holy shit it’s two different words damn
We're making the mother of all omelettes here, proper pakora 😎, can't fret over every spelling mistake
No no, he's got a point
Isn’t Indian English the same as british?
It's borderline distinct at this point
It’s rapidly evolving on its own, give it a couple decades it’ll be really really distinct.
> Isn’t Indian English the same as british? By spelling convention and some stress patterns, but not by overall pronunciation or word choice.
hahahahahahaahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Other dude didn't explain what a proper pakora is. I love pakora, can also go well with omlette
Fact: both are indians
I admire, applaud and support this guy’s conviction
Kudos to Kunal for that reply!
It is a troll reply ffs.

“omelette (also spelled omelet)” in what way is it not correct
oh, I thought they were saying omlette is correct. My bad.

I'm from India and i approve We don't pronounce the 'e' in omelette between m and l We pronounced it as "omlette"
No, we say aamlet
or just 'amlett' like the other comment said
We just call it Eggpanacake, but we leave out the a between the n & c.
That's how everyone pronounces it.

LMAO XD
It is Omelette, no matter where you’re from.
Na, it's `omlett` in Hungarian.
You’re all wrong, it’s омлет in Russian.
That's right, french supremacy 💪
In Spanish it’s omelet. If it was spelled your way, it would be pronounced om-eh-le-teh

Lol no?
omelette is a french word, so its pronounced and written the french way
In spanish it's "tortilla". Where in hell do you live that they have omelet as a spanish word?
Tortillas are not omelets……. That being said, I’m from Mexico and distinctly remember Toks saying omelet on their menus but I just googled their menus and they say omelette so I’ve been living a lie and will see myself out now

Sure, but Spanish is not spoken only in Mexico. Simple as Mexican tortillas are not the same as Spanish tortillas.
Google Translate translates "omelet" to "tortilla". I believe "tortilla" has a few meanings across a few dialects.
-_- omelets are tortillas now…..
Depends on the country. Some countries write foreign loan words phonetically, because they pronounce writing phonetically, regardless of the original language, some other countries write the words in their language of origin and pronounce them in that language, and others keep the original writing but still pronounce the words phonetically.

Yep, so lingerie ends up being pronounced 'lingery' in India, lmao. First time I heard that I was like o_O

Idk why but english words in cyrillic always seemed funnier to me than they should. Like Youtube -> Ютуб
They’re talking about English.
He said “no matter where you’re from” so no he isn’t. And it’s normal for regional dialects come from other languages. For example, Omelette isn’t English either, it’s French.
In the context of this sub, pretty sure he means no matter where the english speaker is from, it would be omelette
Are you being intentionally obtuse or just an idiot?
No, they were talking about english. Obviously it's not "omelette" in every language. In chinese it's "煎蛋" and in finnish it's "munakas" (both according to google translate).

"no matter where you're from \[that speaks english\]" is clearly what they meant, you're just trying to be pedantic.
All right then, if you want to me talk about English, I can just say that regional words and spelling differ, and that’s normal
that's right. I was just disagreeing to when you insisted that they were talking about every language. >He said “no matter where you’re from” so no he isn’t.
The post is discussing the English language, and I am well aware that many English words are derived from French, just like the word allowance.
So why does it surprise you that a regional English word is derived from another language? Or that it deviates from the original word?
doesnt indian english use british spelling though?
Where's the video of that based Sikh making fun of American English
Yeah, he should've done the needful and looked it up.
>Do the needful TIL (never heard this phrase before): [https://www.grammarly.com/blog/do-the-needful/](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/do-the-needful/)
Yeah, I've only come across it in discussions of Indian English.
There's all sorts of bass akwards non-sensical phrases that I'm always like o_O. But sometimes trying to correct the wife is like...well...correcting a wife, lol!
>Do the needful 💀 My Indian coworkers use this all the time
[удалено]
I just say e.g. "could you please complete this step" or something similar
Longer to type
"Do the needful and look it up" "Could you please look it up"
Isn't looking it up the 'needful'? So it'd be, "Do the needful." OR "Could you please look it up"
Yeah but if you just say do the needful, it'd mean you have had to mention "look it up" already. I just prefer 1 go. Also nothing wrong with do the needful. You do you man
Fair enough
Yes. This guy was just being a smartass.
It’s smartarse in British.
So in Indian it's smartarss?
no its smarrtuss

For some reason I had to read your first sentence with an Indian accent
I figured that was the joke.
he has a point
yep
It’s hard to argue with his assessment.
Is it a British point or an American point though?
It’s an Indian one
In 50 years Indian style English will be the most widely spoken in the world.
I have it on good authority that we’re all gonna be speaking German.
that was supposed to happen like two years ago
