...if I judge you for saying 'marshmEllow'

[Bunnyfuller]

It's spelt 'marshmAllow' where's does the 'E' sound come from?! It really grates on me.

I also just the use of a soft 'X' in Prezzo. As in saying it prezzzzo, and not with the same hard z as Pizza.

What are yours?

That's soft 'z' not fecking z. I also hate Appple's idea of my stupidity after wine

I substitute vowels into the name of anyone who offends me with MarshmEllow.

Mispronunciation of bruschetta irritates me.

H does this. I have to beat him soundly with a broom every time and yet he still doesn't learn. Tossed.

I think marshmellow might be a regional thing. I'm in the West Midlands and that's how everyone says it. It's really very irritating.

MOIST LTB. I should LTB as well, mine says Pacific instead of specific and I done instead of I did. Oh and "I seen".

It's not regional. We're East of Englanf/Herts and I have to rein in my face twitching when PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE says it. Gaaaaaahhhh. Then I just sound weird by saying 'oh, yes, my girls love hot chocolate with fucking marshmAllows too, can't you read

oh, I've got one, 'nucular', instead on 'nuclear'

or 'see-a-batt-a' for ciabatta

'reNumeration' for 'reMuneration'

(pedantic tonight...)

Yes! Marshmellow really irritates me. I have recently offended most of my admin team by telling them they are quite wrong. They had no idea.

camtt, it is remuneration though, isn't it?

My iPhone changed that. I need to Google.

DH says marshmEllow too. And when I correct him by pointing out it's spelled marshmAllow and pronounced as such he replies "yeah, it's the same thing".

It is NOT!
We're both from the East Midlands by the way, so I don't know why we both pronounce it differently I am right though

Oh, it really is remuneration. I thought it was renumeration. Because it's spelled a bit like number ?

My daughter says marshmelons.

I definitely say marshmallow though.

yes, definitely remuneration (phew!)

MarshmEllow drives me nuts!

But... I have a theory. Almost everyone I know who uses the 'a ' sound, is well over 40. I think the 'e' sound comes from the American accent, which has influenced the younger generations in more recent years.

So, Americans would say, 'Sam', but it would sound to us like 'Sem' - with a long e.
Or, 'shallow' would sound like 'shellow', 'fantastic' would sound like 'fantestic'.

My DD19 genuinely thought there was an 'e' in marshmallow, until I showed her the packet!!

I might well be talking rubbish here, and I've probably not used the best examples, but just a thought.

Or liquor-ish. It's not liquor-ish it's liquorice ending isssssss not ishhhhhh.

Choritzo, the come dine with me bloke. Aaaargh.

Mispronunciation of bruschetta irritates me

I say 'brew-shetta' and DH says 'brusk-hetta'
Which, if either of us, is correct?

spare, I used to say bruschetta your way, but then I heard that your DH's way was correct.

Also:
Espresso / expresso
Moët / Mowet
Lidl / Leedl
Primark / Preemark

And now I'm confused about how to say bergamot as well.

Or liquor-ish. It's not liquor-ish it's liquorice ending isssssss not ishhhhhh.

luna I love you.

I think it's the latter Sparechange, but I'm happy to be corrected!

Your DH is correct sparechange!
