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

[Sayyouwill]

Mine has to be pacific instead of specific

And, more in line with thread and with delicious irony, when people mispronounce 'mis/pronunciation'.

Haitch gives me the rage. When my DTs started saying it last year because their teacher did it I might have had some very choice words to say about that teacher

Adding Rs where they don't belong - I know, I know it's an accent thing but it drives me nuts.

My biggest bugbear however isn't even a mispronunciation - it's just a plain old made up word - my MIL says "somewhen" - as in if she calls and you're not free to talk she'll say "I'll talk to you somewhen else"

Just WTF?!

Also, while I'm here:

People who say eXpresso should be denied the vote. Possibly sterilised just in case.

Drawer instead of draw (and similar). There is no r in the word.

Buying a new Tanktini for holiday👙

And aitch instead of haitch.

It's Llandudno! Not candudno or chandudno!

I say Haitch. Hotel instead of 'Otel.

Cosyfires

I'm not sure why but I haven't met an English person yet who can pronounce the double L properly. Sure, they think they're doing it right, but they're not.

Everything is Cl. Clandudno, Clanederyn. It's not hard.

Fil-um for film
Sumbarine for submarine
Chimbley for chimney
Fink for think
Pompadom for popadom
Botato for potato
Fren for friend and my all time pet hate- innit!!!

Defiantly is usually an autocorrect that happens when people try to spell definitely as 'definately'.

tew-meric for turmeric

adver-TISE-ment for ad-VER-tiss-ment

raaz-bree for raspberry

I say haitch, and I'm a teacher 😜 - It's regional.

My mother once said "That Posh Spice looks emancipated."
It didn't matter what me and Dad said, she was adamant that emaciated was pronounced "emancipated".

I'm sitting here going "sor, saw" feeling like when I was a kid and my friends complained that I pronounced one and won the same when they should be different. I'm still baffled about that.

Plump 82, I'm from the south east where it's pronounced gah raage with a long a, rather than gah ridge. It's very difficult writing pronunciation, I don't think I could compile a dictionary!

Ah really!!! I dont think ive heard it said that way. Im from Glasgow and theres a nightclub called The Garage. I dont think itd ever be pronounced anything but garridge!

There's a heart radio advert at the moment for nursing training. The women says "I love it as I get to try so many different specialities".

It's SPECIALTIES you annoying bint!! Specialities are what you get in a restaurant!! 😡😡😡

{and breathe...}

I say Fil-um but I think that is a dialect thing.
It also irks me when people say 'Buk' instead of book. That's definitely just a northern thing however. Can tell when someone hasn't been brought up in Newcastle if they say 'cukbuk' instead of 'cookbook' and actually make the 'oo' noise

Also definitely not gar-raage up here, it's garridge

It took me years to accept that St Pancras station was not St Pancreas station, like the body part. I still say St Pancreas sometimes (blushes) as that's what it sounds like inside my head still.

Treysanatomy I hadn't thought of that. Will have to let them off then!

Manctart no need to let them off - it's their own fault for spelling it incorrectly!

Slither instead of sliver
Brought - its bought
Prostrate/prostate
Mute point really does my head in, it's moot!

All of those listed as well as:

ung-yun when they mean onion

sang-wich when they mean sandwich
