To ask what words you can’t say?

[ohheyfreakingout]

... even when they’re written in front of you

I can never seem to say anaesthetise.

My friend can’t say kettle properly and my brother has trouble with vinegar!

Walnut

I got in an N/L muddle with colony earlier

Really annoying as I was trying to make an important point.

Anyway, mauving on...

Are you from Essex?

Squirrel and railway

Exclamation.
Always comes out Etslamation.
Use it more often than you'd think, referring to punctuation.

I said phenonomen earlier and knew there was one other bastard word, it came to mind - Negligeable - what an ugly horrible word.

Phenomenon and apocalypse

Innovative - it just comes out as a big mumbling mess, and I have to say it a lot, you'd be surprised how many alternatives there are

I have trouble with Canada. It always comes out as Canadia.

I work in a pharmacy. So many people get tongue tied when asking for their meds, especially when they try to use the phrase, "pick up a prescription." Makes me smile as I can't say it either.

Drug names are a nightmare and I'm pretty sure chemists like to give them difficult names for fun. Even though I might see the names written down on the packaging many times per day I will often discover I've been pronouncing it wrong in my head when someone else says the name out loud!

Colposcopy.

Strategy, I can if I am deliberate about it but in the flow of usual conversation I always stumble on it

Exhibition / expedition. I can say them perfectly well and have no problem in writing but always have to think about the middle consonants when I’m saying it. No idea why!

February. I put the "R" in it, so it comes out FebRooaree. My mother has a Spanish accent, so I know this is where I got it from, however, the rest of my words are said with an American accent. Also, advertisement! I say it the way the British say it because of Mary Poppins!

Just thought of another one! Progress-pronounced phonetically. Because of the way Dorothy says it on Golden Girls.

Soldier
Scissors

VWpurse

No I am not

After half a lifetime in France the pn combo at the beginning of words still defeats me. So pneu (tyre) and pneumonie (pneumonia) are still an issue. Fortunately not everyday words.

I can't say binoculars. Fortunately I don't really have cause to.

Enamel. Feminine. World. Child (always comes out chi-uld thanks to my brummy upbringing).
Reading books to the dc has shown me that I say 'chicking' instead of chicken! I had no idea I was doing this!

I always get lather and lava mixed up.

I thought it was just me! I can say it fine at any other time, it's weird!

Altringcham

Statistician

Rural.

Falafel.
I can say it but can never remember how to say it until someone corrects me when I say fafafel
