How do you pronounce the word Wort?

My understanding is that wErt is correct, but I've said wOrt so often as to inscribe a deep neural pathway that may be indelible. I will say wErt when I am accutely concious of the mistake, but otherwise, wOrt comes out. Same as when I teach about liverworts and other plants with the same suffix.

 

“My understanding is that wErt is correct, but I've said wOrt so often as to inscribe a deep neural pathway that may be indelible.” Ditto!

Cheers!

 

wErt is correct. It also happens to be the way I say it. But I do say 'trub' insread of 'troob.'

 

damnit, I guess I need hooked on phonics for beer brewing cause I say wOrt and trub.

 

'vert' is as close to correct as you're likely to hear in the US. That wasn't one of the choices, so I didn't vote.

And it's 'troob'. (Damn, it's hard to type that word on an iPhone! )

 

A lot of times I pronounce it "beer." But I'm pretty sure "wert" is correct.

 

I say "Wart", but apparently it is correctly said "Wert"

 

Wort rhymes with flirt.
Trub rhymes with boob.

found this on the net.

 

I pronounce it like I friggin' feel like pronouncing it. Anybody who doesn't like it will find a big bucket* of wErt/wOrt/bEEr poured over their head!

*of approximately five gallons

 

Never heared it pronounced other than wert , have been to dozens of breweries and met loads of brewers.
Most "wor" spelt words are pronounced "wer" such as word,work, worm,so it makes sense.

 

That is one of the biggest problems to us people who speak spanish, english Phonetics.In our idiom vowels and consonants sound always in the same way.

 

It would be if he asked the question in german. I gave an American/English dictionary pronunciation

 

I pronounce it with the E sound but in my head when I read I still think of it with a hard O sound.

 

I believe that it was Colin Kaminski who said, "I pronounce it Wort, and I'm proud of it".

 

After much training I say wert, and troob...but this wasn't always the case.

 

unfermented beer and shit at the bottom of a fermenter...to a person not concerned with pronunciations : )
