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

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.

[Eemamc]

Are there other kinds of almshouses?

[Greenyogagirl]

That’s interesting echt!

[CarrotandSwede]

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.

[MenaMecca]

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

[BunsOfAnarchy]

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.

[Eemamc]

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.

[Eemamc]

Pictures attached!

[BunsOfAnarchy]

Oops i mean greenyogagirl

[SisterNotCisTerf]

English is really a fucker of a language.

[9amTrain]

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

[LipstickHandbagCoffee]

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce the L in almond

[AcrossthePond55]

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'.

[Sparklesocks]

I love how Sarah Millican speaks!

[nbee84]

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!

[Cailleach1]

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'.

[BeeePeee]

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

[Greenyogagirl]

Siri Lanka

[thebewilderness]

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

[VayKayShun]

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

[liz70]

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

[Greenyogagirl]

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
