Actually, I KNOW I am, but it really annoys me that my mum pronounces the name Rachel, 'Racial'

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

thats it really.

[UnquietDad]

I feel your pain.

I used to play with a boy called Richard and his mum called him "Rit-chard."

[themoon66]

You mean like Rash-elle?

[lionheart]

o.k. I hope you didn't call one of your children that particular name

because it would drive you insane, I can see that.

[StealthPolarBear]

my mum pronounces anything that rhymes with "erry", "urry"
So "Turry", "Kurry" instead of "Terry" and "Kerry"
It annoys me in the same way, yes IABU!

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

no - like racial/facial!!!!

She also pronounces Charlotte with a heavy "ch" as in char lady Charity etc

[lionheart]

Have you broached this subject with her?

[Fimbo]

My dd's name is Rachel and your mother would truly wind me up!

[katiekitty]

You poor thing, does your mum know she's doing it? Are you close enough for you to tell her what she's doing wrong? She might not know, but then again, she might be doing it to put a bit of her own power into your life? Is your mum a likely suspect of this sort of behaviour?

[mustsleep]

i symphathismy "tazzimo", Megan as "MEEEgan" and dd had one of those noukie toy comforters things and she insisted on calling it anoukie when it's just noukie

really winds me up

[mustsleep]

more annoying is that i cannot type

my mum says those tings that way

[ludaloo]

oooh I have a friend who says "picture" black (instead of "pitch" black)
She also says Mataland instead of Matalan...
She says "pint" when she means "paint"....
I'm sure there are more, but I can' think of them all!

[ludaloo]

Oh in answer to your question...yes you probably are, but you are allowed to be...it's damned annoying

[RGPargy]

ludaloo - how have you remained friends with someone sooooo annoying??!!!

[ludaloo]

I don't see her very often!

[VeniVidiVickiQV]
