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

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

thats it really.

[Middleclassbutchlesbian]

I know, I'm 'ard.

[mytwopenceworth]

In that case, I'll go back in and you can be my bodyguard.

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

yes, that'd be it hunker......

[melpomene]

Another one is skellington (for skeleton)

[WaynettaVonSlob]

VVV you have had me crying with laughter at this!!!

[Lorayn]

burgular it's burglar!!!

[bozza]

My MIL says per-jee-oh for the cars discussed below. And DD's swimming teacher calls her Cait-land - sounds like she is a small country and she is really quite a petite little girl.

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Indeed, if I didnt laugh Waynetta..I'd be crying

[LaBoheme]

My late Nan used to say "Cuddle-de-see" instead of Cul-de-sac

[snowleopard]

Oooh I love this thread - my posh MIL drives me up the wall - toilit and choclit of course, also fammlee (family) and proplee (properly). She also adds non-existent extra ts into "it isn't"/ "isn't it" so that they come out as "isn't tit" or it tisn't - aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhh

I once worked with someone who said pacific instead of specific, and pronounce automobile "or-to-mob-i-lay" ! (and not as a joke - that's what she thought it was). This was in a publishing comapny and she was a book editor! The same woman had to be off work with burns after trying to iron her jumper while wearing it - so she was a bit odd...

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

Smurf girl if you're Helen though.. doesn't it annoy you to be called "HelERN"? I think even "Hellin" sounds better than HERLERN but then I'm not a Helen so....

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

Snow Leopard, how can you TELL MIL is saying "Isnt tit" because when you say them together they both sound the same?

I am picking here..

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

Oooh ohh I've got one (I've stopped picking ).. Bloody Will Young singing that bloody awful song.. think it must be called "Think I'd better leave right now.." or something..

He says.. "I'm a little more caaful.. prehaps it shows.. (but if I lose the highs at least I'm spared the lows.. blah do blah"

Caaful and prehaps! arggh!

[snowleopard]

You can just tell there's an extra t in it. It's like she lingers on the t. It's like the difference between "hot air" and "hot toddy" - try it, you stay longer on the t to show there's a second t. So if you say "isn't tit" out loud, it does sound different.

I admit it's a tiny thing bu that's how these things work.. Once you hear it, it gets you every single time...

[Ilovebuttons]

my dh says he needs a Vermeer on his bad tooth

[bamamama]

awww - I'm liking 'Roley-voley for ravioli' can we have this for lunch???

[woodenchair]

If you have called your dd Rachel she will spend the rest of her live being annoyed and astounded at peoples stupidity.

It will be mispelled constantly, even if they are replying to an email where she has just signed it with the correct spelling.

Unfortunatley I have a surname that is also commonly mispelt.

[happystory]

My great gran used to have a 'cizzano' at Christmas

[Lorayn]

lol @roley voley, DD (nearly7) still says wriggler for vinegar.

[worzsel]

This would annoy me a lot !

I have a Dog called Hugo who my Dad calls Hugil and my mother in law calls Ugo

Drives me bananas, i'm sure the poor creatures got an identity crisis going on.

[muma3]

another rachael here , i hate it when i get called Raquel fgs

[chopchopbusybusy]

This thread is very funny in a sort of painful way! My Mum say omm y lette. My SIL says sangwidges and restrongs. When I go to Hell they will serve sangwidges and omylettes in restrongs!

[Limone]

I say me instead of my.

And t' instead of "the" or "to the".

I'm proper northern me

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

I'm wondering.. do the people that mispronounce things so weirdly (not in a dialect way.. just weirdly.. as in restrongs) all have a problem with spelling? They can't all be dyslexic or thick can they? ( I KNOW dyslexia is not the same as being thick.. which is why I've specified..)

Only.. surely if you knew how the word was spelt you wouldn't say it like that.. would you?

[Lorayn]

shinyhappypeople, that is what is most frustrating about dp saying 'accreutt' instead of 'accurate' he knows perfectly well how to spell/say it!!
