Talk:Chicle

Comment
"the early Europeans prized it" ????


 * "prized" as in "valued" or "appreciated". I think the word "settlers" should go after "European", too. Does that help? -- Hadal 20:07, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * The dialect of West-Flanders, Belgium, also uses "chiclette" instead of chewing gum (translated as "kauwgom" in standard Dutch). --Selach (talk) 10:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation
"Chicle" does not rhyme with "tickle" in any Spanish or Latin usage, those letters are always pronounced "cheeclay." So why is it claimed that "chicle" rhymes with "tickle?" 72.244.206.31 (talk) 16:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Obviously, it refers to English usage and pronunciation.--Astepintooblivion (talk) 	 11:03, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Chicle DOES NOT rhyme with tickle under any circumstances, not even "English usage and pronunciation". The "cle" at the end is pronounced the same way in which you would pronounce "CLEver", not "kl". That makes no sense at all, that is like saying that "cat" rhymes with "car" and "call" or that "sock" rhymes with "stop" and "shot", and native spanish speakers are sick and tired of having to read things like this created by some "dude" who probably didn't even go to language school, imagine if some kid was doing his homework and read this article and went in front of his class and said "chikl".... the whole class would laugh, including me... Or if someone said... "aw man, this jacket's fabric "ticles" like hell" nobody would know what he's talking about, obviously this article was written by someone who has never been to Latin America and had a piece of gum, or if they have, obviously they do not speak any level of spanish, as this word is incredibly easy to pronounce, and this error is unnacceptable. If someone could please edit that section with this info, that would be awesome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.61.7 (talk) 02:23, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
