...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?

Hmm. If I say "marshmAllow" or "marshmEllow" in a normal voice without emphasising the difference, they sound almost indistinguishable unless I make a big fuss about saying it slowly and clearly! I live in the South East so I have a normal southern British accent...

Both liquorice (ice) and (ish) are correct apparently.

The amount of times I hear restaura-N-teur on food and cookery programmes

Surely these people are supposed to know?

For 'warranty', my DH says warrantee... pronounced as in guarantee. He does have previous form for creating his own words, though. I give you 'displeasant' and 'unpossible'. I think it's dear, tbh

Yay to the marshmAllowers here. I have found my people!
I also get about people who say 'textses', meaning multiple text messages. Having said that, I struggle to see 'text' as a verb.
I have tolerance issues I think

Seeing 'paninis' annoys me - it's already plural. Even worse if I see 'panini's'. As a PP wrote, though, one does feel unreasonably foolish about asking for a panino, despite it being more correct...

@lady warrantee!

As for paninis, italian dp (born there, first language etc) actually said "two brushettas" as in broo shettas not two brus-kette
I looked at him with a face.

I think I might be the only person in the world that pronounces marshmallow to rhyme with swallow

My personal bugbear is miss-CHEE-vee-uss
Instead of MISS-chee-vuss

You hear it a lot, even tv hosts/narrators etc who should be sacked 😡😡😡

Three from the world of horse people...

Turmeric - mispronounced as tumeric - much touted as a cure all for horses.
Manège - a school to ride in but called a ménage by the majority of riders.
Conformation of a horse - mis pronounced as confirmation- only correct in Catholic horses..

The clothes shop Joules, I bought a top from there the other week and someone asked me where it was from. Do I say jewels or jowls or something completely different?

Fuck I've just though of more.

His/he's. I see this one a lot!

People who pronounce 'bald' and 'salt' wrong. It's not 'bold' or 'solt'! 😟

I also want to boot anyone who says 'can I get' 😤😤😤

Sorbet may have been Arabic originally but it entered English via the French word (and pronunciation) in the 16th century. So we can all keep saying it the way it's always been pronounced in English.

My dad (born in Dudley) says 'poppies' for 'puppies', and 'duv-ee' for 'duvet'. Any explanation for this or is he just wrong?!

"marshmEllow"

That would the pronunciation of choice in one of the poshest areas of Edinburgh, Morningside. Lol

I say Joules as Jools. As in kilojoules.

DH says Warren-Tee as well. Like he's referring to Warren G's less well-known friend.

He mispronounces so many words consistently that I've started to think of some of them as the correct way .

Perhaps everywhere that sells them should also sell grips at the checkout?

I think people who always use the correct pronunciation can sound a bit pseudy

But I do dislike Cava pronounce Caaaaava with a long 'a' it's not it's a short 'a' as in And (both of them)

Ouch I WAS saying I hate the soft z as in buzz. Yes, pret-zo is correct. The double X in Italian gives a glottal stop.

Double Z, fecking autocorrect x

DH and I argue about envelope. He calls it an onvelope.

This is correct if you use the original French pronunciation.

I hate missed Ts in the middle f words, wa er instead of water etc

The way DH says "onn-velope" sounds anything but French, where the n sound would be much less distinct. Anyway we are English and "en-velope" sounds much better.
