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

[Sayyouwill]

Mine has to be pacific instead of specific

A teacher pronouncing it 'vocab-ul-ry' 😡

My lecturer at uni used to always pronounce ideology as "iddee-ology" and not "eye-di-ology" and that used to get on my nerves.

Register is said almost like regchester in the north east and it makes me want to do a murder.

I hear use here a lot. Are use going out? Have use eaten?

I'm a bad person, but at church there's a prayer where we say sorry for all the naughty things we've done, through our 'grievous fault' and every week I immediately judge all the people who say it Greevious.

'Crate' instead of 'create. I think it must be a southern/London thing though.

Those home ec teachers were saying margarine the right way, it should be a hard g in the middle, not j, because it's not margerine. I only say it properly to wind people up though.

I nearly forgot.

Lately, "mischiev-i-ous" by a tv presenter on a serious news programme (ABC in Australia). I emailed in to complain about that one.

I don't even know if these are mispronunciations but... cuttle-ree (instead of cut-luh-ree) and burgle-ree (instead of bur-gluh-ree)

Sekkertary
Bu'er instead of butter
Drawring instead of drawing
Paw instead of pour
Paw instead of poor
Mischeevious
CommUNal instead of COMMunal

Shockthemonkey is he confusing it with advogado? 😀

mannafacturing instead of manufacturing, yes Alan Sugar I'm looking at you,

Pour, poor and paw are all the same.

Vahlent for violent.
Lots of MPs seem to pronounce it that way and I hate it. Makes me want to do some vahlence to them.

I've heard lots of people say Ibrufen for Ibuprofen. I've never known if they're wrong or if I am.

My DCs insist on listening to Capital Radio and last year they were promoting the film Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children..

Except the presenter pronounced it Pecular - and i don't think he was joking.

I know someone who pronounces it ee-BU-profen with the stress on the second syllable.

Mxyzptlk are they from NI or nurses by any chance? I'd never heard 'brufen' until I met two NI nurses who both said it. Assumed it was a dialect or nurse thing.

Pretty sure 'ibuprofen' is correct 🙂

But is anyone with me on vahlent? And fahr for fire?

Chimley instead of chimney

Wardrove in stead of wardrobe

Rainbow Pastel No they're not, but I knew some South of England person would assert that they were!

Brufen is a brand name for the drug ibuprofen. Maybe that's the cause of the confusion?

Pour, poor and paw are all the same.

Thanks, easter, that could be it.
