Ok. Is this regional? Is this country? Is this right? Is this wrong?
Assume standard (assume much? 🙂 ) English Canadian tv news presenter speech.
Is it mobile as like noble?
Or is it mobile as like profile?
Or who says it what way and what is your linguistic background. (if you're willing to share)
I say mobile like profile. English Canadian from the west.

Nucular bothers me, too.
It seems to be a sure indicator of dismissive ignorance. Or of trolling. Obnoxious either way.

I say mobile, as in profile.
I also accept mo-bul. It's kind of oily and play-ful.
But in Mo-bill, Alabama, do they really like paying bill-s?
My ears can adapt. My brain will switch on a dime.
But time after time, it kills me to hear, weapons that are nucle-lar.
When the spelling dictates, clear as a bell, it is nu-clear.
Pardon my bad rhymes. 😉

English Canadian from West:
Depends on what I'm referring to. I say mobile home (noble), but Public Mobile (profile).

Autocorrect keeps on "helpfully" inserting the word Mobike while I'm still typing the second or third letters. I don't even know what a Mobike is, let alone how to pronounce it. Mo-Bike? Mobick? Mawbuck?
All because of one typo I made far far away a long time ago. Stupid autocorrect.
Perhaps variant English works the same way - one person says it wrong then everybody always says it wrong and it becomes left.

So I was reading some text somewhere and read mobile phone. I realized after, that I read it as mobil. So it occurred to me that maybe in adjective form it did seem to flow to say mobil phone. Like mobil home. But to say that the home is mobile seems to work better. Or Public Mobile.

It's why I suggested the standard tv news reader speech pronunciations as a starting point.
@Anonymous Ahh yes, just reread your post and see you were just joking, but I was mostly wondering how mobile gets pronounced with "u" sound...not important though 😊
Sorry...just connecting a joke to another joke. If it's just so much effort to say mo-bile then also otherwise save some effort by dropping the U in many words. Just goofin' around that's all.

I think the British tend to say "Mo-bile", at least based on a sample of a few I work with.
Oh but think of all the keystrokes you could save if you dropped the u in favourite (and all the others). Won't somebody please think of the letter u?!

Although I must admit that tyre looks odd.
@Anonymous Do me a favour and paint my home to match the colour of my neighbourhood? I have catch some Zeds as I'm very sleepy.
Long live the U! And the Zed. And sure--why not, @Witcher --the Queen.
@srlawren& @Anonymous The English language and it's pronunciation can be quite curious from region to region, let alone country to country. But I'm not sure how you get to pronounce mobile with a "u" sound, I could understand just "mobil" (ill) perhaps? But then I don't understand why many people (mostly Americans, I think) say "holloween" instead of halloween, or "ruf" instead of roof. Probably not really important but can be quite irritating 😊

Mobul
06-07-2020 05:47 PM
"Resistance is FUT-ULL" or "Resistance is FU-TILE"?
Even Star Trek's Borg - a cybernetically-enslaved hive mind - can't agree on this basic pronunciation.

Mobile mostly rhymes with docile profile camomile to me.
Mobil noble Constantinople sounds too American to my ear and tastes bad in my sentences.
I speaking my Englishes very goodly in the lower mainland, BC.
