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?

[AlmondVanilla]

Although I suppose it rhymes with I!

[BumDisease]

@yetalkshite och you mean a dish cloth. 😜

[Blackoutblinds]

Haitch eye jai kai ell em en

[AlmondVanilla]

Haitch eye jai kai ell em en

Oh! You do the Kay as Kai too! Makes more sense now

[ThisIsTheFirstStep]

@bum cloot, surely

[whiskeysourpuss]

No the K is Kay - Kai sounds daft

[UseditUpandWoreitOut]

@BumDisease
A J cloth is a hoyable clowt in my part of the UK

[whiskeysourpuss]

Hoyable clowt???

[UseditUpandWoreitOut]

Disposable cloth : A clowt that can be hoyed away after use.

[Chocolatedeficitdisorder]

disposable cloth I reckon

(I'm from Edinburgh and don't recognise this)

[whiskeysourpuss]

Ah... I'm using that it'll confuse the fuck out of DD

[Chocolatedeficitdisorder]

Cross-post - I was right!

I'm from Durham.
*We hoy ourselves about the dance floor, hoy our clays in a suitcase, hoy insults about, hoy the remote over when someone else wants it and we don't and hoy our floor clowts out when they're hacky.

*That's the royal 'we' obviously, I'm not talking about every person who lives in Durham

I was at a lecture at Newcastle Uni last week.
About Socrates.
No 't' in Socrates or Socratic and missing syllables in 'Quest'nin'.
Eleventy billion times over a whole morning.
I (now) appreciate there is no 't' in Metro either and its a regional thing
But i was knawing my own arm by lunchtime :)
( I also appreciate that 'evelenty' is an annoying word. i dont use it normally!)

[ARoomSomewhere]

Ahem. 'Eleventy'.
I'll get me coat...
(see what I did there?)

Pronouncing th as f. As in vo instead of though and free instead of three.
Absolute height of laziness and ignorance. IMO

[ferrier]

And makes it really really difficult when you're trying to teach someone to spell.

[JustJoss39]

Twenny instead of twenty, beekle- beetle, aminal, and deh cember - Dee cember, sammich - sandwich

[MotherofPearl]

I think a PP has mentioned it but reckernise for recognise enraged me for some reason. The g is pronounced, even if fleetingly.

[Juells]

reckernise for recognise

That was me, ranting about Paul Martin on Flog It 😅

[IAmMumWho]

Cuttle-ree is how it's pronounced in Lancashire

Or just knife, fork n spoon

I used to do that when I lived in London, because although I can hear a difference in the way I pronounce d and th, English people don't. There isn't a th sound in Irish, so we (some of us!) have difficulties with the lingual contortions required. It's a bit like how you'd feel if you had to use the Xhosa click when speaking quickly - easy enough to do the click if you stop to think about it, but not easy in mid-sentence.

[Isanyoneoutthere]

Aks instead of ask. Its only 3 letters ffs.

[brisklady]

ARoomSomewhere you were probably gnawing your arm rather than knawing it .
