not to correct DS2's pronunciation of sphere

[Ormirian]

when he says it as 'sefia' ?

Tis making me laugh quite a lot

Oh yes and when did they start teaching children about 'vertices'? I must be really thick but I didn't know what they were until DS1 told me.

My DS2 is still baffled why the 'humbrella' is on the back of his 'U' card

YANBU

I love ds's mispronunciations

Digraphs was the one ds came home with that we had no idea about. Didn't entirely trust himn on it till it was on countdown

Well I'd say YANBU if your child is young but as you've forgotten to tell us his age I'm going to assume he's 21 and say YABU unless he's pissed

YANBU! Mine are sadly getting (mostly) beyond those now, I loved that famous vampire 'Drackliar' and the day when DS2 yelled excitedly across a crowded street - 'daddy, this shop has got binocliars' Occasionally we get them still (13 & 11) and I can't quite bring myself to correct them...

used to love this dd used to add a v after qu so we have sqvirrel and quvavers

acc to ds your little finger is a stinger

YANBU I couldn't bring myself to correct my son reading yesterday 'sweeties' everytime he got to the word 'sweets'. I may do when he's 22!

YANBU at all. DD was a bit slow to get some speech sounds and I'm glad she's caught up but I miss some of the words :(

When DS was born we called him little man (never thought we would but it just stuck) and DD pronounced it wee-wool nam and I still call him that now!

She's still got a few cute ones - did you know that a sea-creature with 8 legs is called an otterpuss :)

YANBU. Huge is officially not fuge in our house. ANd spheres are sophia's

My DD used to say 'beeth' instead of beef. I didn't correct her as it was funny.

YANBU

I love mispronounciations.

DS1 used to say zamzoomers instead of satsumas and mooshooms instead of mushrooms.

Actually I did that wrong it's not otterpuss but oppertuss :o

i've only got radigator left, and ds asked me if he was saying the right word :(

DS1 used to insist a knife as an 'ife'. I miss that one.

DS2 has just moved from 'hake' to 'cake'. I used to enjoy sniggering at the thought that he was demanding a deep-sea relative of the cod.

I love it when they get expressions wrong too

My Husband used the expression "School boy error". Then when was watching football with youngest son, he piped up "Ooh School boy Eric, Dad!"

Ah these are lovely! DS (6) has SN and is non verbal so I sometimes feel a bit sad that we won't get these. Although he did come home from school after his first swimming lesson and signed 'ball'. I assumed he'd been playing football! In fact he had been to the 'swimming ball'! :-D

Pestradians ...people who walk about
Demisal point...like in money maths
Inga da minit ...in a moment
Jacuzzi...bikini (and vice versa)
Jeece..the plural of juice

Oh there are so many more, but I don't want to bore you

We have earpuss's in our house.

Awww PMSL @ 'swimming ball'...bless him

Spoom

I was gutted that I had to tell her it was spoon as it was in her weekyl spell check when she started school. Spoom is much nicer

:o at these.

I recently worked out that DS3 thought "jumbled" meant "very big". He's been confusing it with "jumbo" for years and years. A Jumble Sale is a very big sale apparently.

my ds always said hyptonise

Fussels instead of mussels (DD1 at age 3). This has become a permanent part of family vocabulary and she's now 10.

DD2 was definitely a 'Drackliar' merchant when she was little, bless her.

She also used to say 'Garden' instead of 'Pardon' when she'd farted. Oh, those were the days.

Ahhhhh. 'Brektuss' instead of breakfast. Sweet.

DD aged 4 says bemember instead of remember and rumbrella instead of umbrella
