I know I'm BU, but how do I stop getting annoyed at DH for mispronouncing words?!

[DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou]

Been with DH nearly 25 years, we are born and bred in the south and when we first met he spoke like me.
After about 10 years he started dropping his t's (batteries are now ba'rries). A few years ago he started saying ain't

But now he totally mispronounces words especially those with u in it.

Assume is now assoom.
Once he pronounce puberty as pooberty (he at least had the good grace to correct himself)
The G in long is now over pronounced as though he isn't a southerner.

There is now thurr.

I asked him gently tonight why he does he and got pissed of fans says I attack him about it.
But it annoys me, it's unattractive and cringey.

I know I'm being unreasonable. Tell me I am so I can feel guilty and get over myself.

DH works for an American company (but in the UK). He says “data” in an American accent and it kills part of me inside each time, I’m not about to LTB though!

And I say aint

I’m with you OP my DH went on holiday 3 years ago with a friend who dropped the H on words and he came back doing exactly the same, I corrected him everytime but he still says ouse rather than house, I find it baffling that he can spend two weeks with someone and it has changed the way he speaks yet cannot revert back to how he used to speak when he came back to a house where the letter H is never dropped.

Has he also started drinking expresso? Grrr

Omg I say peng wings I'm married to the wrong dude

DP always says Wimbleton instead of Wimbledon and for about half a second I think I could actually murder him.

This thread is hilarious 😂😂

People that say they “itch an itch”.

No. You don’t.

You scratch an itch.

Does he watch a lot of pirate films?

DH manages to add Gs to words that don't have them. He pronounces onions as ung-yuns and he has a friend Tang-ya (I didn't realise she was just called Tanya for ages).

The one that gets my goat is 'schedule' pronounced in the American way as "skedule"

My brother and I are born and bred southerners with reasonably correct pronunciations. I speak the same as always and DB switches from broad Yorkshire to southern posh at the drop of a hat. Your DH doesn't seem to be able to switch off and has probably had the piss taken out of him at work for talking posh!

My ex does the Pacific instead of specific and we have the specific ocean

He also drops his h whenever I'm around

A girl I sat next to in work for a few years used to do this. It made my skin crawl but I can't explain why. I mean it's totally harmless but I just don't understand why people do this? Do they think they sound more intelligent or something?

OP you have my sympathy. I don't think I could live with someone who did this

My mil says broc-o-lie, laz-an-yay and wed-nes- day. I want to grab her by both lapels and scream in her face “have you never heard anyone pronounce these words before EVER?” It seems small but it’s so incredibly annoying. I seem to have a lot of pent up anger. I do apologise.

@MysteriesOfTheOrganism sorry, I would infuriate you would always pronounce it skedule. Perhaps I owe my mil an apology

But I’m not a heathen. I wouldn’t use American pronunciation of data because that is horrific

My husband says somethink and anythink and my god it makes me cringe every time so yanbu!!!!

I knew someone who called a remote control a remult control. Fucker 😡

He is working with Americans. All of that is American English. He has picked up our habits. Like your example Stoo andStu is the same pronunciation. Source= I'm an American from the south

Are you for real? Americans are heathens because our accents are different? I see you don't believe in tolerance. No wonder so many British are seen as racist,classist and intolerant. Next time I go to confession I will make sure to tell my Priest I'm a heathen just on the basis I was born in the American south

My fiancé's local way of saying things took a bit of getting used to! He doesn't do it on purpose though but even he says if he hears someone on the radio or TV with the local way of pronouncing words he cringes! He can pronounce words properly though when he wants to!

My husband says somethink and anythink and my god it makes me cringe every time so yanbu!!!

Eurgh, mine does this too! Makes me want to claw my own ears off. If he does it in front of the DDs I can't help but correct him.

YANBU OP.

@MysteriesoftheOrganisims that would be from the American North. Don't forget America is huge and has a thousand different dialects all common in 1 place

Was just being lighthearted... if an American pronounced it daata it wouldn’t bother me, seems contrived for an English person to pronounce it so.
