We Pronounce It Mee-Cro-Wah-Vey
I’m from the UK, and I worked at a kid’s summer camp in America in the late 1990s.
It’s at the end of camp, and the parents are picking up their kids. One of the kids is complaining to her parents.
Kid: “The food here has been horrible!”
The parents look at me for confirmation.
Me: “I’m afraid that’s true. Due to some logistical issues, nothing was able to be cooked fresh; it was all just reheated in a microwave.”
Parent: “Oh, I bet that was exciting for you, though; I guess you had never seen a microwave before!”
