Dear coleagues,
I have a doubt. How do you say in English "pregui�a" (the animal "bicho-pregui�a").
Thanks!

I �ve always said sloth and the word for a lazy person slothful with a short �o � as in hot and cloth.
This online dictionary gives both pronunciations, UK and USA. It �s a useful site because you can hear the word.

I have never heard sloth pronounced with a long "o" . It is always pronounced to rhyme with moth (Like a butterfly), at least in the US. Also in the Marium-Webster�s dictionary, it is pronounced with a short "o". |
