I hope that makes sense. I've spent them how I say them

user1274245 · 05/12/2020 21:13

Occasionally.
Probably not, but not sure how I say it when not overanalysing.

Um I'm guessing that's aimed at me. I have the least posh accent so not confused by that comment. No one would say I pronounce anything posh so not sure if you're reading it differently written down

But I do love Hyacinth though! 🤣

purpleme12 · 05/12/2020 21:25

(and I say ear as one syllable not two)

How do I pronounce theatre? Badly. I went to an an American junior school overseas. It's the one word I struggle with, get the mick taken and try and avoid saying! So much easier to talk about the West End.

Adhesive is add-he-sieve
