Don't say it like that. Say it like this!

Booh fay sounds wrong and pretentious. It should be Buh fay.

(even if the first version is correct. it sounds wrong/stupid or stoopid

Which pronunciations annoy you?

Not a pronunciation but I hate it when my DP says we'll have to learn our girls something!! It's fucking teach!! Arghhh

Hooble
I thought I was the only one that got irritated by the beast off the chase!

Ooh, I thought of another Halloween related one....bloody pun-kins

It's fecking PuMPkin!

For all of you who are sticking "r's" in words to broaden the "a" sound, there are quite a few rhotic speakers on NM. We pronounce our "r's".

Angel, do you have to catch the 'buzz'?

On NM?

I think you mean MN, scone

Sorry people but Pakistan and khaki are Urdu words derived from Persian and there's only one way to pronounce them:

Paakistaan

khaakee (with the kh like the ch in loch if you're being fussy)

Adam Mea culpa!

Anythink, nothink, somethink...aargh!! My normally well spoken MIL says all of these and it drives me mad!

Just alerting you before you got lynched for being a hun, scone

pirate, that's interesting!

On the 'learn them something' one, is 'can you borrow me xxx?'. No, I might be able to lend it to you though but probably won't now.

I apparently say 'Ascot' in a very posh way... with a very clipped, short o that sounds more like a u. I don't know why though!

ILikeToClean "Anythink, nothink, somethink...aargh!! My normally well spoken MIL says all of these and it drives me mad!"

Yes, it's really strange that many otherwise well-spoken people do that. I've noticed Alistair Appleton on Escape to the Country, does it. I think that if I knew someone who did that I'd have to ask them why. Surely they spell those words with an '-ing' on the end, so why do they say '-ink'?

YABU it's Buff-ette everyone knows that

My friend doesn't.
It's Booofay! I think she thinks it makes her sound French or something

"trickle treating" :)

My mum says 'Ice - en- ing' too along with 'Fruiter -er's' meaning the fruit and veg shop.

I've just howled at Dh earlier - he called the puppy a 'trader' instead of traitor, as she was all over a stranger outside :) :)
He's also guilty of switching 'Th' and 'F' but in his defense, English isn't his first language.

Buff ette.
That's an even worse abomination big word go me

AnyfinK
SumfinK
NuffinK
Gives me the utter rage. There is no K on the end. It's not difficult.

Nufink, somefink, aaaarrggghhhhh

I hate eye-dillic instead of idd-illic. People think it's something to do with 'ideal', not an idyll.

And don't get me started on 'haitch'.

Norfolk is full of these malapropisms. We hear sustificate often, and bronichal. I've heard our neighbour talk about the 'perlitical marina'.
Also Thet-thord Thorest. (Thetford Forest) I reckon it's a relic of the early Saxons who arrived here in the East and used lots of 'th' sounds in their language.

orr aaaaaagh for alright "If you can't pronounce it properly, use okay instead" has been bellowed at the top of my voice suggested for the umpteenth time chez Blank today.

vej eh tabbles makes my toes squirm

queen oh ar - well okay, you either know how to pronounce quinoa or you don't

skeh ee for spaghetti

um or erm inserted randomly between groups of words when you are answering a question. I listened to someone on the radio doing that and it was excruciating.

Compulsory elocution lessons to be added to the national curriculum anyone

I know somebody who instead of saying

plastic

would say

plaaaahstic

but then she also used to say paaaasta instead of pasta

No buzz I don't take the "buzz"

Could the Boo-fay confusion be caused by Phoebe from friends?

Loving some of these
Just my twopenneth, when we go on holiday, DH always likes to insist on us having a room with a sunny bonkerly bless 'I'm

vej eh tabbles makes my toes squirm

My MIL does this. Instead of Vegetables being Vegtbles - no that's too simple.
Every Single Syllable is emphasized within an inch of its life.

Veg ge ttta balls.

mrs smith, it's proabably wishful thinking on your DH's part
