Cutlery.
Cut-le-ree
Not cuttle-ree
Sets my teeth on edge. What pronunciations annoy you?

I've never heard cuttleree before...
The ones that really get me are "matrass" instead of mat-ress...
And JAI instead of JAY for the letter j.
Actually makes me feel sick.

JAI instead of JAY is how I say it, it’s how I was taught in school because I’m Scottish.
These threads always descend into slating regional pronunciations, never end well.

I love the diverse range of accents in the UK so nothing really sets my teeth on edge as such.
But I do prefer words like grass, to be pronounced to rhyme with ass as opposed to arse.
BitOutOfPractice · 11/10/2018 21:36
I don't know the difference between the pronunciation of Jay and Jai 
whiskeysourpuss · 11/10/2018 21:37
JAI is how I say it - apologies for making you sick PP you might want to avoid Scotland
mybumpismostlypudding · 11/10/2018 21:38
Whiskeysourpuss jai to rhyme with high? I always get so confused by these threads 😂

A family name is often mis pronounced. Makes me stabby
Jack a leen
Jack lin
Even extended family do this.
If you can't pronounce Jacqueline as in Jackleen, say Jackie.

“Marshmellow”
Even my own child says it like that. It’s marshmallow fgs!
ScabbyBabby · 11/10/2018 21:40
So is KAI pronounced more like EYE? Confused. Thank you for trying to explain.
Love the Scottish accent!
then....YeTalkShiteHen · 11/10/2018 21:41
ScabbyBabby aye that’s exactly it! The letter J is called J-eye rather than J-ay in Scotland.
BanginChoons · 11/10/2018 21:42
It's cuttleree.
People round here say hospickle and bockle.

It's jack-eh-lin in Australia, in the same way that Madeleine is mad-eh-lin, not madleen.
