To say it's NOT pronounced like this?

[DaanSaaf]

Cutlery.

Cut-le-ree
Not cuttle-ree

Sets my teeth on edge. What pronunciations annoy you?

My Kiwi mother says "cuttleree". I hate it.

@mybumpismostlypudding yeah that's right

My sister now lives in Kent & has an awful accent that's a cross between a Scottish her proper accent & a Kent fake one she puts on accent it does my nut in as she pronounces loads of things in a weird wrong way

So J is pronounced to rhyme with eye not way in Scotland?

I used to say "cutleree". Now I'm all posh and say "cut ler ee" a friend said the former to me the other day and I corrected them. I'm such a snob

I had to start saying Jay rather than Jai (in Scottish) because my customers at work are mainly English and they could never pick up what i was saying when spelling things.

Qatar. Almost always pronounced "catarrh" (long second syllable) when it should be "catter" (two short syllables). Even the BBC consistently mispronounces it (clutches pearls). I guess the Pronunciation Unit was disbanded with all the cut backs and my shouting at the radio for decades made no difference so I moved to LBC. Yet to hear how they pronounce Qatar!

Regional dialects I can quite understand but completely incorrect pronunciation is a different kettle of fish. Which should be consigned to the bonfire.

Particularly - 'pacific' instead of 'specific'; 'aks'/'axe' instead of 'ask' and 'crips' instead of 'crisps'.

Surely it's Jack-a-lin and Mad-elin?

Or to explain it better, when spelling out the alphabet in Scotland, J rhymes with I not K.

If a person wrote my name is Jai I'd assume it rhymes with way. It's pronounced the same as Jay lol

Drawer?
.so you say please close the draw-er said same as the person who drew my picture is a drawer two syllables

It's more like drawer said with only one syllable - the e is sort of silent

I assumed it rhymed with Kai, I’ve never seen it as a name.

I'm Scottish. I say J to rhyme with K not J to rhyme with I (alphabet song)

@SleepingStandingUp & @YeTalkShiteHen my ex was called Jai pronounced the same as the letter J in Scotland

That's interesting YeTalkShiteHen.
Never knew that.

Be proud of your dialect/accent I say, it's what makes our language so fascinating.

Oh my brain is getting pickled reading all this

ScabbyBabby I am! I think everyone should be. I love that there are Scots words for things that would take 4 or 5 in English, some there are no literal translations for and we use lots of Scots words regularly in our house and local area.

Bought instead by brought and vice versa. I get the regional accents make people pronounce things differently but it's a different spelling because its a different word and they mean different things. Was on a thread recently where the OP actually admitted she didn't know the difference! What?!

When people say arksed instead of asked! Makes my teeth itch every time

How do you pronounce (to everyone on this thread)
"library"?
also
"Wednesday"

This comes up a lot and I have never understood the difference between the word draw and drawer (when spoken)

They sound the same in my accent.

Library - library

Wednesday - Wenzzday

@Thatstheendofmytether bought and brought really wind me up. Even my own mother does it.

I've lived in Scotland for 15 years and only ever heard it pronounced jai three or four times.

Everyone else says Jay!

I'm quite north though...
