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

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

thats it really.

glammama,

it 'tis taramasalata!

I know {blush} I'm in a rush at work. Should check more carefully next time. Or not bunk off work laughing at these threads on mumsnet.

i only know coz every other letter is an 'a'!

my auntie does the 'pacific' one and it gets on my t*ts

My mum calls Coisants (SP?) cross ants, and she says cue pons for coupons and it annoys the hell out of me, but cant be mad at her coss my mum is wonderfull

my dad used to say cosmestic. It made me murderous.

my mother used to say "thee-etter" instead of theatre, and "meee-grain" instead of "my-grain" for migraine

Mine pronounces e-v-e-r-y syllable of vegetable, so it sounds "veg-et-a-ble"

And tis-sue instead of tishue

but I do love her, honest!

croissants

mee-graine - nothing wrong with that, since migraine is a French word originally and is pronounced mee-graine

I have a friend who prounounces Eleanor 'Elean-OR' and Charlotte
'Charl- OTT' iyswim, drives me nuts for some reason. Also another friend says 'joovet' for duvet and 'AD-vocado pear'!!

Croissants is one that I grew up being told crozzants, so it has stuck. I feel like a ponce when I say it right.

there was a woman at work who used to go on the internet to look at 'websides'.

I have a bug-bear and it chorizo - all those tv chefs called it 'shor-it-zo' when it should be said a la spanish - 'sho-ree-tho' .

Sad really I spose.

Ooh ooh, I forgot my dear old grandad who is 86 refers to lasagne as 'la-zanj' and baguette as a 'bag-ooo-ett'.

My dh's aunty was a real mrs Bucket and she used to call towels 'tahls'

My ILs have pasta issues too. They refer to penne as "penn".

My step-grandfather once bought a new car which he said was a "Poogay".

Peugeot to the rest of us.

i had a friend who called tiramisu - tira meee soo.

or is that right and i'm wrong ?

My Dad calls those cars Pew-zho - does my head in!

lol at pasta 'issues'. My mil has vegetable issues, calling an aubergine an 'orb-ah-geen'

MIL:

Ciabatta pronounced See-a-batta
Foccacia pronounced Fok-a-k-a
Quesadiila pronounced Kwizzy-della!

ILs refer to keybobs (kebabs) and Ocaydo (Ocado) - clearly have 'y' issues

My mother pronounces, Volvo, as Vulva.

My mum has pen pasta. I told my sister she'd had pen for lunch, she looked puzzled and said isn't that a swan?

ILs all like a bit of sallid.

I had a friend who used to say Sam-mich.

She would say it to her children and I thought perhaps they pronounced it like that and she just repeated it to them, but then she asked me if I wanted a Sam-mich when we had lunch on our own.

I just said yes, please.

My granny used to always ask if you wanted a hang sanwich

xMIL calls breakfast "brakfast" and so xH until I had a nervous breakdown over it and he stopped!

She also called velour "valorie" (tee hee) and terraced houses "terrance" houses.
