Actually, I KNOW I am, but it really annoys me that my mum pronounces the name Rachel, 'Racial'

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

thats it really.

glutton-free".

lolol

2 of my sisters are TA's for children who have learning difficulties. They have lots of disagreements about the word "Statemented"

One just says 'statemented' & claims she is correct, yet the other says "STATEmented" with the emphasis on the STATE part

Can't see the problem myself, but then it's not a word I use every day.... they have actually seperately complained to me about the other's use of the word!

While I'm here, that Omega 3 advert over there --->

It ought to be "without THEIR suspecting a thing."

I fell in love with a woman in Waitrose who asked very loudly, in best Queenie accent, for
Tar - mar - slar- tar !

thats what I always call it now ( and always very loudly )

oooohhhhh...dp says "sack-sumas" and "kershew" nuts, as well as "mandareens"
it drives me quite insane - he picked it up from his mother - the pair of them are horrendously dyslexic,but it still makes me want to rap him over the knuckles with a ruler
another bugbear is when people say things like "breakfastses" rather than breakfasts

An ex bf used to need lumbar support because of his bad back, but pronounced it slumber support. One of the myriad things he did that annoyed me.

my dp once went into KFC and ordered a COL-ON-EL burger (cringe)

pagwatch, can you translate that for me, please?

pagwatch.. what was it she was looking for?

Is there an echo in here?

colonel, as it 'kernel', like colonel sanders, from KFC

taramoslata (sp?) I believe. Cod roe pate.

"archeries" for arteries

Oh, and bloody "proNOUNCiation" - it is proNUNciation. Tis how it is written, it is the word for saying things correctly and yet it is the one that is said wrongly most often

(sorry, get a touch riled with that one)

sorry - yep taramasalate, next to the humus !

My lovely dyslexic mate asked poor youth working in Homebase for a Dildo rail instead of a dado rail.

oops, i translated the wrong one, wondered why people didnt understand col-on-el burger

My big thing is with ginger cake.

My mum always called it jammica (said fast) ginger cake - I've forgotten why, there was some story about it, probably someone she knew said it. But now, I can't see it as "Jamaica Ginger Cake" it is always jammica I must sound insane if I actually say it in public.

Uberalice, my mum also says sangwiches,she pronounces Smith as Smit, she's Irish so allowed those.

Also says 'She don't like it' instead of she doesn't or does not, bless! Mumisms!

My mum wanted to call me Marie but as my dad was a scouser he pronounced it Maarri (like in Andrew Marr)which set her teeth on edge - quite glad as I prefer the name I was given.

better than tarama salata pronounciation....makes me for some unknown reason......

She also pronounces celeriac as cele-ree-ack.

There was a group of blokes running through town recently, wearing just thongs, to raise money for charity. I heard a woman going on about the runners wearing those throngs. She said it so many times, it had to be more than a one off slip of the tongue.

oh god there are so many....I do try and correct but she gets really upset....

man in Bristol restruarant

" tarra massa looooooooooo"

My Dad says margarine with a hard g .

And I overheard an old lady in M&S once, "oh I don't like this Pruner [Per Una] stuff." I always call it Pruner now
