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.

Eye buh profen

snap!

Armshouses!

I think it’s just because I don’t expect it, I’m happily watching Ina Garten make dinner and she’s lovely and soothing and then she’s just going to add a sprinkle of UURRBBS! Before serving. 😂

I think the H-less herbs was current in Elizabethan/Jacobean times so went to America and stayed, while it moved on in England. Like "fall" for autumn.

Are there other kinds of almshouses?

That’s interesting echt!

My MIL says Syoot instead of Suit (sooot) or Syootcase instead of suitcase (soootcase). Does that make sense?

I find it really irritating, no idea why.

I'm from the area where Theresa May was brought up and I have never heard anyone saying aRmond. (sounds like a pirate Greenyogagirl! ) It's Almond or Owmond, and also we say the "T" in ofTen.
I like Sarah Millican's pronunciation.

Fillet. Can be pronounced "filet" or "filey", depending on where you come from.

Some American pronunciations really make my skin crawl especially as Fuzzy said, pronouncing herb 'urb'.

Ugh. And when they pronounce laboratory as la-bore-a-tor-ee.

I doubted myself so I looked it up. I have a copy of the letters and sounds programme. Basically it shows teachers how to teach phonics. Palm balm et al fall under the ar sound.

Pictures attached!

Oops i mean greenyogagirl

English is really a fucker of a language.

Well that's the first I've ever heard of almond not being pronounced with the L!

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce the L in almond

Ugh. And when they pronounce laboratory as la-bore-a-tor-ee

I've never heard a fellow American say 'la-bore-a-tor-ee', unless we're trying to pretend we're a mad scientist. It's 'lab-ra-tor-ee'. Accent on the 'lab'.

I love how Sarah Millican speaks!

My mother went to Siri Lanka rather than Sri Lanka (almost a shri lanka when I say it) Not sure that I'm right but Siri Lanka makes my teeth itch!

My friend always says baguette as bag et.

I remember asking for a baguette in a bakery in London. The person serving said 'Oh, you mean a French Stick'. So, the pronunciation for baguette in London seems to be 'French Stick'.

Shit, I've been saying almond wrong all my life.

Siri Lanka

In this areas we pronounce the silent L in al as ah.

I've been saying almond wrong my whole life. I don't care, not about to change my pronunciation of it now!

Olmuhnd. Said the same way everyone else I've known say it.

I wonder how many of us, if we started using the ‘correct’ pronunciation would be laughed at irl?
A debate I have with my mum is colander vs culunder if anyone wants to chip in their pronunciation
