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?

Scht for st, as in schtupid, Schtreet for street

A lot of Z celebs use that sound. and I've heard childrens tv presenter say schtrong instead of strong. And as you say, schtupid instead of stupid.

wotchshrong with them?

Nu-cue-lar instead of nu-clear!

Drives me nuts!

I know someone who pronounced 'breakfast' as 'brake-fast'. It did my head in.

I have seen chester drawers on local Gumtree.

And local estate agents advertising houses with 'envious kitchens' and 'envious bathrooms'. FFS.

A common one is being on 'tenderhooks' - no, the phrase is 'tenterhooks' from the hooks used to stretch and hold cloth as it dried (and I have seen the last surviving set in Europe which are located in Northumberland should you wish to see them too)

My Kentish mother who believe her pronunciation superior to anyone else's once had an amusing conversation with a Weegie bus driver when she tried to tell him how to pronounce Glasgow 'properly'. Silly, patronising mare. She was lucky not to understand most of what her called her, I do believe....

That's a common pronunciation in Edinburgh, Leela.

Oh, my dad will only talk about robbers (because we've teased him so much about 'feethes' and 'burgLAHs').

I'm from Edinburgh and no one I know calls it that so I must be sheltered ! The person was from the isles

Brocka lie for broccoli.

And in France, do they really say Silly Bong for Cillet Bang?????

Both my exH AND exDP used to say dressing gowned

I felt like strangling them with the fucking fluffy belt

Another exDPism - carm instead of calm. Itchy teeth and piss-a-boiling all at once with that one

I'm going to have to ask my friends now about that...perhaps I've just never paid attention

Sickth for sixth!

It's an X, not a ck!

You pronounce the X when you say Six, pronounce it when you say Sixth!

I don't know why I'm so excited! Sorry!

'Fruiter -er's' meaning the fruit and veg shop.

Technically correct although more usually known as green grocers now. Or Aldi if you are me :o

I hate it when anyone (kids usually) say "I need the toylut" but with that gutteral back of the throat thing instead of the T, what is that sound called?!

And my friend always says sanDwiCH, emphasis being on the D and the CH. Drives me mad for reasons I cant quite explain.....

Sassy er....dont you pronounce it carm? Like Farm?

How else is it pronounced?

bogey noooooooooo [scratches teeth madly] it's caLm like palm

Ermmm its not you know. Palm rhymes with farm too.

[runs away]

quick test - have a sing through of the first verse of Silent Night. Carm? Nope, just nope.

Have to agree to differ on that one (and ask you kindly not to become any sort of significant other of mine)

ooo another one

one of my friends asked her ds if he wanted to watch rARtatouille the other day

she also says rart (rat)

Trickle treating wtf

ValenTIMES

Schtudents like Janet street porter. Sadly member of SMT at school ????

My very well educated says seketary instead of secretary. It does my head in.

Sorry-I meant to say my very well educated DH

'Rart' just made me laugh out loud

Aaaargh, 'haitch' . . . don't get me started. Our local radio station has a show with 'DJ Haitch' (DJ H) which I have to turn off. Also the woman who presented the Horizon 'Secret Life of Cats' programme recently kept saying 'Meanwhile, back at Cat Haitch Q', causing me to shout at the screen.

Someone on the radio just said asterix instead of asterisk - sigh

Carm Carm Carm

:o:o

Bogey is it called a glottal stop?

DJ's racist gran used to refer to the people at the corner shop as 'Parkies'. I suppose if you are going to use racially offensive terms you may as well mispronounce them so everyone can laugh at your ignorance twice.

Bokkul
Ickul
Hospiccul

And a personal pet peeve was an old friend of mine who used to pronounce Chorizo as Chinzaro.
