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?

Although I suppose it rhymes with I!

@yetalkshite och you mean a dish cloth. 😜

Haitch eye jai kai ell em en

Haitch eye jai kai ell em en

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

@bum cloot, surely

No the K is Kay - Kai sounds daft

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

Hoyable clowt???

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

disposable cloth I reckon

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

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

Cross-post - I was right!

Jay/Jeye/Jai Cloth/Cloot/Clowt

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!)

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

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

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

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

reckernise for recognise

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

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.

Aks instead of ask. Its only 3 letters ffs.

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