Aibu to hate what comes after fifth?

[ScoutJemAndBoo]

It is sixth, not sicth (sic) and it quietly does my head in annoys me to hear it mis-pronounced.

There, inane and pointless get a life and stop ranting at the telly moment over.

I'll sexond that.

YANBU.

That'll be me then.
Seriously - have never managed to get it right. I'm aware I'm doing it but have never been able to pronounce it correctly.

I know right? My DH says sicth.

There's an X there- use it!

yes I know that doesn't apply to xylophone or xenophobic or a plethora of other words

My Mum was Irish and she always said "Six'd"

I still say it now, even though it bugs the hell out of me

How do we stand on twelfth - is it twel -f- th, or twelth.

agree with you on sixth

I have also known people pronounce fifth as fift

Phew , I am not alone!

Twelf-th, I think.

Twel-fth

Though I had to think about it, and say it out loud

"Twelf'd"

I had to think about it too tbh

doesnt matter which way I say sixth, it sounds the same!

It's six-th, twelf-th and Wed-ns-day. Not Wensdy.

Squeaky, not much difference but Six-th is slightly longer as the "s" sound is enunciated rather than sic-th.

YABU

I have a Scottish accent, and I'm afraid it always sounds more like sic-th, but that said I do prounce it correctly in my head

well I always thought correctly it was sic-th, and I hate that, pronounce it six-th myself

But it isn't just sixth is it? It's aks and Satday too.

Euphemia isn't it Satdi? (but with the T dropped? )

ScoutJemAndBoo it's just hard for some people to pronounce, probably due to a slight lisp. You would hate me and my family, we all have various mild speech impediments.

I am from Scotland and its definitely six-th and Sat-ur-day - may live up north but still get taught this stuff in school

Oh well, it's Sa(t)di round by us!!

Belgo sorry, I don't hate you and have some words I cannot say too; my rant was after hearing a broadcaster who should know better say sic th.
People who genuinely cannot say words, rather than being sloppy speakers, are fine by me
