Anyone else know they pronounce certain words wrong but just can’t change?

[Wordsearch3]

Lighthearted but I know I say certain words wrong but the ‘correct’ way just does not sound/feel right in my mouth to say lol

a few examples
-expresso…I know there’s no X but I just can’t say it espresso as it sounds wrong to me.
-words like diagnoses/crises…I know that’s how the plural is said but in my head it should be crisises, diagnosises. To be fair I avoid saying those ones because I know how ridiculous it is saying it wrong in my profession.

im sure there’s more but that’s the main 2 I can think of.

anyone else?

People say nuc U lar instead of nuc Lee ar. Drives me batty.

So.. Secondary school.. is it pronounced second-dree or second-arie??!

I can’t say cutlery properly. I say cuttle ree. I know it’s wrong but it’s too ingrained.

I’ve never seemed to master the word ‘abdominal’ either, I get in a right muddle with that one.

I also say lie bree instead of library.

Again I learnt in school that the letter h is pronounced as aitch but honestly I have never heard a single person in the uk say aitch. It's always haitch. Even my kids say haitch and they learnt it in school here. I thought I was wrong to say aitch.

I have an aunt who pronounces lots of words incorrectly such as symmetry instead of cemetery, musherrooms instead of mushrooms, helicocter instead of helicopter, the list goes on and on. she doesn't have a speech impediment so no idea why she does it. she is aware that she pronounces things wrong but still does it. I often wonder if she has a type of pronunciation dyslexia if there is such a thing!

I struggle to pronounce 'specific' correctly. No matter how hard I try,it always sounds like 'pacific'!

Good question. I say both depending on how I’m using the word. Second-dree school but second-arie colour etc

I'm a Rheumatology nurse. I can't pronounce a lot of the biologics ...I'm convinced the drug companies name them on purpose! I notice quite a few patients can't pronounce "Methotrexate" and I don't blame them!

Are you from the North West? Cuttleree is a hard one to shift!

My late DM was a right one for mispronouncing words. One that sticks in mind is 'I-BOO-profen' for 'Ibuprofen'.

Interesting as my mum also said seet not set, she’s northern but I’m southern I don’t know if that makes a difference. I’ve changed my pronunciation to para set amol as that seems to be the more used and I was noticing no one else around me said seet.

My mum used to say poogot for Peugeot, she did used to mispronounce a lot of words too.

I finally cracked it but I have to think so hard to say it right!

Yes! Vehicle - veerikal.

I clearly have a problem with medicine as I say I-BROO-profen - my mum says I-broof-n 😂

My mum was! I thought I probably got it from her 😁 I’m Southern so my son is always pulling me up on it.

She was actually North East (my bad geography) but I’ll still blame her 😁

Everyone says Wensday though.
Who says WED-NES-DAY?

My mum is Irish and I grew up in the midlands- it was living daaan saaf that I realised no-one said ‘seet’ too! But I think I’ve already given my children the habit .

I hear ibufren more than I'd like, with an emphasis on the u, what happened to the rest of it?! The one I'm guilty of is marshmellow.

Me

Sulfasalazine is even worse! And ezomeprazole! 😆

Yes I always hear I-brufen here’s the P??

Really? You say Wed-nes-day? I don't know anyone who says it like that. Everyone I know says 'Wensday.'

Anemone. Not that I have to say it very often, but my n's and m's are all over the shop. I say 'an enemy'😆

I have never pronounced paracetamol as para-sett-a-mol. Always para'-seet-a-mol.'
