Irritating pronounciation

[percheron67]

I have just seen the Tesco steak ad and wish that the woman talking would not use a glottal stop in the middle of words. Perhaps this is regional but it sounds very lazy.

it’s pronounced bloody bastard “aRmond”

😂😂😂 in my accent that sounds absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Just watched it, you should change the title to ‘accents I find irritating’

Ar mond
BA gette
Ev el Lyn

so you say pam tree rather than parm tree? Eh?!

I can’t say AR mond without sounding like a pirate. Did the pronunciation of baguette get answered?

The one that irritates me is “ibuprofen”.

Bar locks

Pam tree?
Lip bam?
Ams for the poor?
Surely not?

I do love a pronunciation thread,always results in a big debacle
I like when the proper linguists turn up with actual explanations as opposed to I think therefore it is

so you say pam tree rather than parm tree? Eh?!

Exactly - do you see an R anwhere?

Pam tree and lip bam- yes. Can’t say I ever say the word “alms” so not sure how I say it naturally. I certainly wouldn’t be giving arms to the poor that’s for sure.

Almond fits in with palm, balm and alms, their all have an ar sound, the l is not pronounced. It really winds me up.
Like Tough, Cough, Through all sound the same and scone is pronounce like Bone and Gone of course 🤔

Parm tree? Like a farm tree? Parm and palm are completely different in my Irish accent.

I love these accent wars where people refuse to accept others legitimate pronunciations The long A/random additional R substitution in my favourite

I assume at some point someone will mention croissants, and once again I will utterly baffled that there is any other way of pronouncing 'croissant.'

The 'stabby' and 'rage' bits I don't get though. 'Mildly piqued' is about as far as I go.

*is my favourite, goddammit we need an edit function here.

Bshizzle films make pronunciation videos, but it is clear this is for American English if you have a look at the channel. I think this thread is talking about English...from the UK

Not seen the ad, but the glottal stop is very northern, common in Newcastle etc.

The one that irritates me is “ibuprofen”.

How do you say it? And what is the “wrong” pronunciation?

Cwas-Ont although as I’m not French and Siri doesn’t understand me I’m happy to blame my accent

Eye buh profen

Irish pronunciation is different, that’s fair enough...
There are almshouses right near where I grew up so I said it a lot I suppose.... always pronounced ARmshouses

Just seen it's the Sarah Millican advert- she's geordie. As a geordie I say leave our glottal stops alone ye ragjie.

I - byou - profen, I know a lot of people in Lincolnshire who can’t prounce the you sound, so they say ‘com poo ter’ and in Leicestershire they change the ee sound to eh and drop or change as many letters possible. Am fillin appeh with this thread, love accents!

Alms houses as in poor relief?
amms houses. No r soft mm

What annoys me is when Americans pronounce Herbs as Urbs

Something to do with it coming from the French pronunciation instead of the English one I think.

Or perhaps it's Cockney
