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?

The above was in response to this from @Laiste

I sat through a course where the trainer referred to the amygdala about 675 times. That was a long day.

Just remembered, that when I'm telling someone that (for ins) I need a roof tile replacing, I always get told I say roof like I'm a dog, but I don't pronounce the r as a w, so I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.

As I kid vinegar was always viginar...

I also have an aunt like this. Are we related? 🤔

There was a documentary on TV a few days ago about some kind of nuclear programme, and the narrator said new-kyuh-luh throughout. I could barely believe what I was hearing. Even if no-one realised when she was hired, surely someone could have corrected her during the recording.

Like Ruff for Roof? I know someone that says Roof like that. Rather than the oo as in Loot.

I pronounce tongue as 'tong' and not 'tung'.

I say moo-er, poo-er and too-er. This is funny because in a city 10 minutes away (same 'shire') they say 'more', 'pore' and 'tore' for moor, poor and tour.

possibly 🤣. What words does your aunt pronounce wrong?

Where I’m from some people say neck-er-lace instead of necklace and skellington instead of skeleton. I didn’t actually know I pronounced them wrong until a teacher friend (not from here) pointed it out that a lot of her class say it this way too and it drives her mad! I make an effort to say them correctly now.

Not me doing it but I've noticed a creeping tendency for people to say "incidencies" when they mean 'instances', and occasionally when they mean 'incidents'

I expect that's what I must sound like when I say roof... but in all honesty, I don't hear myself saying ruff...

My mum seems to always pronounce Wednesday as "Wed-uns-day" as opposed to "Wens-day". I've always thought it was an impossible but correct pronunciation and the latter way (how I say it) is incorrect?

God knows lol 😆

Someone I know has special ways of saying things, including:
fonteta (frittata)
rascist (racist)
duvious (dubious)
arrears (rheas)

"Skellington"? 😬😳 I've never heard it pronounced like that before? 🤔

Cardamom pod. It always comes out as cardamon pob. No matter how hard I focus on it, and how many times I repeat it, I can never get the 'd' sound at the end.

Yep, it's definitely "aitch". When children recite the alphabet, it sounds odd if they say "E, F, G, Haitch, I"... 😬😳

Oh goodness, now that is a tongue twister! I'm trying to pronounce it badly now 😬😂

I can’t get nuclear even though should be obvious. Now I just sort of stop at the word and go really slowly.

Financial - the Chair is asking if anybody has involvement or a link with potential contractors/etc, as they'd have to bow out of any discussions around deciding who would get the contract/prices paid for it.

Easy way out 'does anybody have any new interests to declare today? Thank you - could you complete the form, please? I'll record you as stepping out for item 5 on the agenda tonight'.

Not me, but my DP struggles with a lot of words, especially ones with 'dd' in the middle such as cuddle. He says 'cuggle' instead. He also has rhoticism (like Jonathon Ross does).

I used to have a friend that would say 'Valentimes'.

My mum's quite posh/middle class - and she definitely pronounces it "Wedensday"!

I once heard a posh lady pronounce pasta as "parsta" which I had to stifle a chuckle at! 😂😬

Adalimumab

Secukinumab.

Damned biologics. Can't even follow the same weird pattern in the middle from one drug to the next.

A friend of mine always says ibroofen instead of ibuprofen. Took me ages to figure out what she was talking about the first time 😅

DW used to say try-app-zing for traipsing.

As a kid I told my Mum that I'd named my doll Lucky. She didn't realise I meant Lucy until she saw me write it down one day. Pretty sure I stomped off to my bedroom in a sulk when she laughed at me 😂

It was only three years ago I was told by a friend that there is I my one n in Covent Garden. I still say convent though.
