posh people in the UK say 'garaah-j'
'garridge' is just how normal people say it here...

Why would they say it the first way? "garridge" just sounds cooler imo
but there's no one right way to say it is there?

cos they're posh and they elongate and soften vowel sounds because it sounds less 'peculiar'
in england its a southern tendency, up north if you say 'baah-th' you're a stuck up idiot
obviously its not true, its just how you talk but us small minded northerners have trouble dealing with it
but no course there's no right way to say it, just better ways

idk why but i always try to remember to call it garridge
but then i just end up calling it garahge anyways
and i guess since the paradise garage & all, it should be the way to pronounce it (if there is ONE way)

no one says garaah-j music??
I thought a garaah-j was the place you keep your car in your house.
and garridge is the music and where mechanics work.
I get so much stick for saying Gr-arse, Fr-arnce up here.
does he think he's skrillex with those kicks in front of the drop?
lol wtf was that!

Both Americans and Brits say garage wrong. The music may have originated in the states, but the word itself is French. gah-raj folks.
