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

[Sayyouwill]

Mine has to be pacific instead of specific

Sorry, I meant "you don't like SAYS instead of SEZ"?

My most hated one is click instead of clique.

It's a French word. Pronounced cleek. And it was always pronounced correctly by nearly everyone in the early 80s and then from nowhere there came this word "clicky", as in "I don't like those girls, they're too clicky."

I understand what Carousel is saying about the G. It's not pronouncing the G, it's pronouncing a hard G, like 'garden' but at the end of the word.

And I agree with Carousel about sez and say-s as well

Proshecco (my boss)

Nucular - I heard this on radio 4 a little while ago, I was horrified.

I'm guilty of the w for l though (app - w, Skyfa-w) etc, its just my regional accent.

Wa'er. bu'er etc. There should be a society for the preservation of the letter T.

I don't understand Carousel's dislike of the letter 't' either. I hate that my OH fails to pronounce them in most words when reading bedtime stories now that my DD is talking, but also horrifically aware of how lazy my own speech has got.

Random, my DM also says 'pitza' and I have no idea why.

Off of

"He got it off of his brother"

Noooooooooo, he got it FROM his brother.

People that pronou e jalapeños as JAL-apeeno rather than HAL-apeeno.

It doesn't exist it is from

Would of instead of would have.

Chwenty instead of twenty
Chwice instead of twice

Chris Tarrant saying 'all-mond' for 'almond'.

Read through the whole thread just to check I'm not the only one who can't stand 'sanGwich'.

A relative pronounces “supposed” as “asposed”. As in, “it’s asposed to be _”. I love her dearly but my god I want to strangle her when she says that!

CurlyhairedAssassin You're quite right. I didn't pick that up at all. My spelling has gone to buggery.

Cleansiness instead of cleanliness 😐

Preshume for presume, ashume for assume. It is rampant in Australia.

How some americans pronouce Iraq and Iran irritates me I don't know why

I can't even read through the thread as after the first two posts my blood pressure was already raised to unhealthy levels. Pacific fir specific might win though.

Not pronunciation but grammar
I is hungry or I is cold

Jalapeño. JAL instead oh HAL

Neeeechh instead of niche!

Pinktails instead of pigtails.

I couldn't get past "hospikkle" and "likkle" - fuckers who utter such bastardization of regular English words (often in a baby voice) need to be shot at dawn.

Ditto for any person uttering the word "hollibobs"

A relative of mine -

Etha-real for ethereal.
Super-FLEW-uss for superfluous.
Feasty for feisty.

She reads a lot.

A relative of DP's mentioned a website called 'Linker Din'.

Took us a while to cotton on that she was talking about LinkedIn.
