Liqourish or Liqouriss?

[PyongyangKipperbang]

I say Liqourish but in a couple of audio books I have listened to lately, both the readers say Liqouriss.

Am I wrong?!

YANBU for Liqourish
YABU for Liqouriss

How do you say Pert and Bert then?

Put and But?

No, they have a softly pronounced R. Pronunciation has no logic, does it?!

It’s strange.

I’ve never met anyone who pronounces those names the way you do.

They say Rupert Roo-Pert and Hubert/Herbert H-you or Her - Bert.

Exact same sound as the word Her.

Never heard Ru-put or Hu/Her-but.

Ish for liquorice.

Mellow and mallow sound exactly the same to me. I'm probably going around offending all sorts of Brits by calling them marshmellows.

DH is endlessly frustrated by my inability to hear the difference in those vowels (same with the names Alice and Ellis). Accents are funny things.

did you try and buy them in Pontefract itself ?

Yes. And I failed.

I find it irritating when I hear radio presenters say "tiss-you" for tissue

^ this.
Everyone I know pronounces it "tishoo"; "tiss-you" sounds so affected.

This is also why marshmallow is NOT pronounced marshmellow
Yes to this as well.
dp and dd drive me mad by saying *marshmellow". I've tried telling them about the flower and showing them the word in a dictionary. It makes no bloody difference.

I think I use both
