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?

Conversely the Scottish town scone rhymes with toon and not er... Scone.

Never heard jai but I am due for my flu Jag.

Scon or Scowne?

'In Aus, the food is "scon", but the place (Scone, NSW) is "scowne" to rhyme with bone. Just to keep it interesting. '

I'm a Scot living in Yorkshire, for me it will always be 'scon'. However, to make it even more interesting, the original place called Scone in Scotland, rhymes with boon!

Pacific instead of specific WTF !!!

If I'm thinking about it I would say lib-ra-ry with three syllables, but more often I probably get lazy and say lie-bry.
Wednesday is always Wenzzday.

I know someone who pronounces "trauma" as "tr-ow-ma". I've never understood if that's regional or just this particular person. Has anyone else heard that pronunciation?

I'm Scottish, and when I hear people say JAI (like HIGH) it gives me the rage. It's JAY.

@eelbecomingforyou

Really? Well I've lived in Scotland my whole life and I pronounce it "jai"

I think I say Wed-nzz-day.
Does nobody else pronounce the D??

I’m utterly confused about the letter J in Scotland now! The dog keeps looking at me strangely as she can’t decide who 8m talking to and why I keep saying the same thing over and over!

Book. I can’t bear it when people say Boo -k .
Film - FIL-um . That drives me mad too.

Meant to say, none of those 'Scones' are mispronunciations, unlike saying 'brought' meaning 'bought'. That's just wrong...

All the Scots in my family (hundreds of them - Dundee and Forfar) pronounce J exactly the same as I do - JAY

I say weddens-day for Wednesday.

I used to say jai to rhyme with high but moved to a posh borders town where they looked at me like I had two heads when I said it so now I say it to rhyme with way!

MischievEEEous. No no no it's just mischievous.

Why why why has this morphed into a new word?

DH was Lancashire, and said hospickle and lickle.

Did he also say chimbley? My Dad always referred to a shopping pre-stinct, he refused to believe there was only one letter t in there.

I’m Scottish and we were taught Jay at school. Which is how it should be because that’s the correct way to pronounce it.

It can be pronounced either way 😂 I’m curious though - if you met someone called AJ would you call them A Jai?

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

Correct - Jai, that is (for the same reason)

Mischiev-ee-ous.
Hate it!

I've got to the stage where I don't know how to pronounce some words any more I say mischevuss, but then I always pronounced mischief as mischeff and now find it should be mis-cheef

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

Yes. How else would you say it? Genuine question.

I grind my teeth every time I hear Paul Martin on Flog It say reckernise. It's one of his favourite words, too, he says it about five times every programme.

I can’t stop laughing at the posters insisting there’s only one way to pronounce J in Scotland.

I’ve also been here my whole life and I was taught Jay, my family have always said Jay and it’s “jay for Juliet” 😂

I never heard JAI for JAY until I moved south to just north of Edinburgh. I'm from Furry Boots City.

Sorry but it's cuttleree in Northumberland

and in Northumberland's close neighbour, Tyne and Wear.

You know what I hat?

"Haitch"

It's NOT 'haitch", it's "AITCH" you twat!

I do know someone who says WED-NEZZ-DAY.

Kill me now!

The other Scottish one which gives me the rage is sanGwich. There’s no bloody G in it.

Ideer is another.

And not a pronunciation thing, but anyone who uses the word holibobs really needs a talking to!

Not exactly a mispronunciation, but the one that does my head in is people saying'text' as if it were a past tense of the verb 'tex'. As in - 'she text me yesterday' instead of 'she texted me yesterday'.

Someone I know, who works with dangerous criNimals.
It would not be so bad, except that's his job, and he talks about criNimals. a LOT.
I've been known to hide.

Yes - jags not jabs.
Slidey not slippery
and Bawbag instead of Trump 😄

I'm Scottish and only pronounce J as Jai when reciting the alphabet. When spelling out any word, I would say Jay 😁
