Things you say 'wrong'

[pocketvenuss]

Apparently I speak funny. The latest word that has brought mirth to others is the way I say 'sandwiches'. I say sand-wich. The 'd' is audible. I didn't think it was all that weird but others seem to find it hilarious.

What words do you say in a peculiar way according to others?

Bram ber ley apples. Due to 80s children’s book.
Also chimleys on top of houses. You can’t tell me otherwise. Don’t get me started on mil saying tong instead on tung for the thing in your mouth.

I can't say meteorological unless I say it VERY slowly.

Where do we all stand on armonds?

I can't help but put an erroneous 'g' in skeletons. 😬

Oops I definitely say crudites to rhyme with luddites 😁

According to DS (obv fount of all knowledge) I mispronounce onions. I do say onny-uns more than onyuns but only slightly

I say munster rather than monster and prehaps instead of perhaps. I know it's wrong but can't help myself.

Well, we spell it with an 'l'.

I don't say anything wrong apart from apparently master and plaster but I disagree.
Those people who say stommachh though, and tong-guh instead of stomach and tongue . And sallmon and allmond. Wrong!

I have a friend who says ‘worry’ as it’s spelt. It has irked me for years.

That you, supernanny?

I've had the piss ripped out of me my whole life, because I'm born and bred Yorksher, but say maarster and plaarster (like Craig Revell Horwood ffs)

Only those two particular words though, I wouldn't use the same sound for faster or castor, or anything else. Weird.

My DH takes the piss relentlessly because I say hambag instead of handbag

@TrentCrimm exactly the same here. And I say breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Theatre. I can't hear how I say it differently but my DD constantly corrects me and asks me to say it after her, imitating her pronunciation. I then try to do this but she still says I say it wrongly.

Loving this thread. @Dogsinthecradle air bubble and hair bobble 😁
I can't said particularly
I can't say specific sometimes unless slowly spoken
I have to concentrate when I say library
I sometimes use "us" wrongly. Give us some time instead of give me some time. Lots of dropping of to the - t' shop. I am can become just am. Am going out now. Would be so much easier if I had been born in the south.

*say particularly not said particularly. Christ I can't write as well as speak!

I live here and I HATE that. It is an inexplicable level of annoyance. Makes my skin crawl.

I pronounce it the same as you.

Pseudo. I have to really bloody concentrate to not say sway-doh. God knows why, and I'm often not successful. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to say pseudomonas (often shortened to pseudos) a lot at work!!

I have to not think about February and Tuesday otherwise I forget how I normally say them and get all flustered. Chews-day? Tyoosday? Feb-yuh-ree? Feb-you-arry? Feb-ree? Fuck knows.

I do intentionally say things wrong as a running joke with family, and have to be careful not to say 'condescension' instead of 'condensation' when I don't mean to.

Someone mentioned almonds. Only today I asked Alexa to play a song by Marc Almond and I didn’t know whether to say Al mond or Arr mond. Anyhow miraculously Alexa played it straight away, I was very impressed as she often imply Ashe doesn’t know what I’m talking about.

@FavouriteDogMug

Raise your crudd ites for can apes.

They'll go nicely with the horses doofers

Shroud. Does it rhyme with crude or loud?

Croissant and restaurant.

Waddle

Intransigent

Life is tricky.

I love the different regional accents. Being a southerner, it's lovely to hear the variety. Particularly like a Stoke accent and a Swansea valleys soft welsh.

Apparently I say roof and tooth wrongly (but also differently to each other 🤷‍♀️)

My mum grew up in Surrey and says things like Dyooovey, and 60 minutes is an 'ahhhrr'.
