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 neices used to get a "eggache".

i have an adult friend who delights us all with hers

schumacer - chewbacca

pompadoms - popadoms

expresso - espresso

My DS is 6 and still has to repeat himself a few times until he gets certificate right! We have had
squiggle - squirrel
cerfiticate - certificate
earwig - earring
biscetti - spaghetti
bimato - tomato
gagi - blanket
os do it - you do it

They are very cute, I had forgotten some of these he used all the time sadly he tries to speak correctly now

16mo DS says 'toaton' for coat, presumably because I'm always saying, 'here, put your coat on'

Mine too we have toaton and shooson

In our house, a computer is a 'pooter'; a yogurt is a 'yogi'; sheep are 'baa-lams' and a hot water bottle is a 'topbottle'.

The youngest member of my family is currently 27.

This is what happens when you don't correct speech .

DH is using crutches ATM, and DD calls them "crunchies" :)

My 12-year-old still has troubles with ecstatic squats and fatty diplomas. The first from a gym lesson, the second from a recent minor op her father had,
