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!

Anonymity

Shropshire

'Th' sound. I can audibly discern no difference between three and free and can't pronounce the two words differently.

My children pointed this out and now I am very conscious of it but have no idea how to change it. I cringe when I have to say three on the phone. As I work in a hospital and have to give out patient numbers at times, it happens more often than I would like.

But then there are words that I can't bring myself to say,they will never pass my lips
Making love
Cum
Oh Christ even writing this makes me queasy

That properly made me laugh Gloriawasright!

Apparently I don't say sandwich properly. My DM can't say cucumber or oven

February

Regularly. I seem to add too many ls

Veterinarian. Thank goodness I don't have to say that often

Arthritis. Always get told off for saying Arthur Ritus.

Hegemony

Edamame. Just can’t get it right. Shame cos I like eating them!

I can’t say phenomenon without wanting to go “do do do do-do” after (like the muppet song).

Cockroach
Munich

Brewery
It either come out all disjointed brew-er-ee or not at all ledgeable like bureau-ary. That word is my nemisis!

February....guess what month I was born

Recidivism

I can say the word Prescription perfectly well apart from when I go into the chemist to pick it up! I just cannot pronounce it in front of the chemist! It’s really embarrassing. I have started saying ‘I’ve come to pick up my meds’

I can say Walrus if I concentrate really hard. Otherwise I say Rawlwus...

Phenomenal. Just can't get all the Ns and Ms in the right order.

Wool

Swimming. No idea why it's so difficult, but always trips me up.

And nuclear confuses me. I say it how it's spelt, but everyone else seems to pronounce it as "nucular".

Innovative, I always stumble on it.

Quesadillas comes out as Quesalidas

Anomaly

Asparagus

I struggle with statistic sometimes. If I am speaking too fast it just jumbles together.

Interestingly enough, I am reasonably proficient at nearly all of these examples so far. My personal kryptonite? 'Antibiotics'. No matter how hard I try, I nearly always end up going with the hard, US 'an-tie' pronunciation.

The shame

Prosthesis. I have managed to say it right once I think.
