superminty tells us more.
It was "ch-rain" versus "t-rain".

Im British and my Boyfriend is American and we joke about the other pronouncing things 'wrong,' like 'tomato' and 'herb,' but we would never fight about it...
Hmm, trine? as a pronunciation would be the only fitting substitute.
Whut. Since when do people argue about pronunciation to the extent that they actually fall out? You guys fail hard.
Let me see if I've got this right. In this modern world of ours, neither of you could find a movie clip or a song or something where the word 'train' was said, to offer up as evidence eh? Really? *boggles*
Some people have gotten so used to a certain incorrect pronunciation will actually not be very good at distinguishing it from the correct form, even hearing it from others. "I wode the fewwy acwoss the moat." "You mean, 'I rode the ferry across the moat.'" "That's what I said!"
Train can be pronounced...? Let me see, 1, 2, 3, oh yeah only 1 way. If he was the 1 pronouncing it wrong, then hes a dumbass, but it was probably your fault it got heated because you didn't budge a bit. If you pronounced it wrong well then I have 1 thing to say: dumbass
You say potato, I say po-tah-to. Let's call the whole thing off.
who says po-tah-to?
FYL to whichever one of you pronounced it train, YDI to the idiot who pronounced it chrain. Was teaching the 'ch' sound at school today and so many kids said train...they struggle so much to spell correctly, not because they don't know their sounds but because they don't pronounce anything properly. It's just really sad.
I can't tell which one you are saying is correct
Huh...well my comment included THREE examples of chrain being the incorrect pronunciation...I'm not really sure how I could explain it any simpler. :/
I think it's an American pronunciation... Not wrong, just a different continent and COMPLETELY different dialect and accent.

How many ways are there to pronounce the word train..?
That's just loco. What were you trying to achieve?
