What's the most annoying mispronunciation you've heard?

[Sayyouwill]

Mine has to be pacific instead of specific

Dh says nitch. He's American. I snarled at him the first few times he did it and now he thinks it's funny.

Super fucking Nanny

Asseptable for Acceptable

A friend of mine pronounces Bolero, boller-ow. I'm being picky now.

My son says nucular. I'll raise my eyebrows and he'll chant nuclear under his breath for a few seconds, but it has never nor do I think it will ever stick.

ODDviously instead of obviously 🙄

Pacific for specific. That Facebook pearl lady says it and it makes me want to kill her but I couldn't stop watching for a month. Dh finally cut me off and said it was awful and weird.

I nearly died a death when ds' English teacher said that he needed to be more pacific when answering questions

I follow a vlogger who bless him isn't the brightest and makes lots of bizarre mispronunciations.

Monterey (cheese) = Montgomery cheese
Schloer= Shalola
Chorizo= koritsiyo

Chester draws really bothers me.

Where I live nearly everyone says brought when they mean bought. It crushes my soul every single time. Even my 2 year old knows the difference.

My mum calls it a boller-row! Gah! Also hate GILLET (like bullet) instead of gilet(ay).

Yes brought vs bought is very annoying!

Also my ex boss used to say thee-a-ter instead of theatre and Ay-see-ya instead of Asia, used to drive me mad!

My DM keeps showing me all of her Cath Kitson handbags. I must have said Kidston a hundred million times but it falls on deaf ears.

My manager says Pacific rather than specific and it really grates on me. She's intelligent, well spoken etc but just can't say specific.

Garridge instead of garage really irritates me as well

My ILs pronounce banoffee pie "ban - uu - fey" no matter how many times I explain it's just the words banana and toffee stuck together, they just love to make it sound posh.

It made me laugh when someone upthread complained about people saying 'drawers' when it should be 'draws'. The word is drawers! Draws drives me mad.

I was corrected in front of numerous people for my pronunciation of the dessert Mille feuille. I correctly said Meel foy. She said, you mean Meel fwee. There were so many people there and I didn't want to make a scene, so said nothing.

MIL says digical instead of digital and no one ever corrects her.

And people who say Krispy Krem when it should be Krispy Kreem

Drawing pronounced as drawRING!!!

Drives me crazy!!!

Haitch instead of Aitch

Pacific instead of specific

Com-promise instead of compromise (yeah, you MIL)

My DM says Carn't

2tired2bewitty - i think we had the same HE teacher!!

Mataland 🙄 Gets on my nerves when people say it. Like it's some sort of theme park with magical rides, when in fact it's a sweaty shop with huge queues, that they haven't worked out how to shorten in all the time it's been there.

Expresso

Pie-yeller (paella)
Chorr-itzoe (chorizo)

I cringe when people with foreign names (names which are short and easy for native English-speakers to pronounce) have their names CONSISTENTLY mispronounced by English people who have known them well for years, despite having been corrected many times.

It just seems like they can't be bothered with anyone whose name isn't Jack or Emily.

It's;
restaurateur not restauranteur;
Aitch not haitch;
Specific not pacific;
Pronunciation not pronunciation.

Not pronunciation but misuse of;

Oops posted too soon. Misuse of accept/except, affect/effect, bought/brought, its/ it's, they're/ their/there

Auto correct intervened! It's pronunciation not pronounciation

Somewhere how else would you pronounce can't than carnt?
