She was the people's princess

Everyone had a go

I could've beaten it but only to the first story, second one's too sad.

You’re just not trying hard enough.

There's a medication for that.

In france tje day of the accident they called her "lady di" pronounced like "Lady die" for half a day before they caught up.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the Brits always called her Lady Di (as in "dye") as that's how her first name is pronounced in English.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do brits pronounce dye and die differently?

I can't think of any regional accent that does. It's certainly a homophone in RP (received pronunciation - standard british english in as much as that exists)

[–] decolo@piefed.social 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've never had an out loud conversation regarding her, but I have always pronounced Diana 'dye anne uh' in my head, and thus shortened to 'dye'. How do you pronounce it...

[–] slampisko@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

ESL here, it has always been the same as "Lady Dee". Thinking about it as "Lady Dye" is blowing my mind.

Note, Diana is pronounced as Dee-Ya-Na in my mother tongue, perhaps that's why it feels more natural

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

English speaker - I always heard Dye. I can't imagine anyone saying Dee!

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

She's not a bird!

[–] decolo@piefed.social 12 points 5 days ago

What's funny is where I grew up, that's a different name from Diana and spelled Deanna

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 7 points 4 days ago

That's how it was pronounced, though.

[–] EmilieEasie@fedinsfw.app 36 points 5 days ago

And now it's my favorite too, thanks!

I wonder if copies of the original are worth anything. Like the "Dewey Defeats Truman" papers

[–] fedikitty@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago

I think a lot of Nottheonion articles can beat the version they corrected.
