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

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

thats it really.

Its like Wensday (Wednesday)
or Febuary (February)

My dad actually calls one of my cats Tiger (its name is Tigger) which really grates. Unfortunately the cat will go to him whatever so he thinks its okay.

DD also calls Cigarettes "siggriss" which irks.... (she always says it in the context of "mummy look - look at that lady with a dirty siggriss"

A friend of mine pronounces and spells frothy as froffy. She wouldn't believe me when I told her there was no such word.

My DD always says Pasketti (instead of spaghetti!!) My aunty always calls my Olivio - like on the advert - made worse by her Texan accent (her name is Olivia)
My DP actually say Hirate - instead of irate - he does not believe me that it is not a word casue his mum says it too!

my mum says see a batta, ciabata

empen...sounds like a caribbean pronounciation........

I'm a Rachel too - I hate being called Racial, also am really annoyed by Racquel (sp?)

My Nanna said Qweesh instead of Quiche but I always found it endearing.

my dp uses the fact he is from SE london for his appaling pronunciation ( i gave up excusing my spelling ages ago btw!). And that is no excuse for these clangers btw.

Bap = bab

Borrow = Borreeee (that really winds me up)

Battery (which i pronounce bat tree, so i cant moan) = ba er ry

oh and my absolute favourite

Optical illusion = skeptical transfusion (im not sure if he is joking or not!).

On the subject of names, my dd1 is called Rebecca - i hate it being altered, although now i tend to call her bex, despite saying i never would.

But now she has taken it upon herself to describe herself as Bee at college - i had her form tutor ring me, asking to speak to Bee, i said i didn't know anyone by that name! Then at work (At the golden arches!) - you'll love this beki FFS!!!

I am hoping dd2 doesn't choose to call herself loose when she is older.

I thought about sophia as a name, but i knew dp and ILs would end up calling her Sofe (like sofa without the a!) I also liked charlotte, but even when i said it myself i couldnt pronounce the t at the end without making an effort so knew that would be dropped and drive me mad.

DH says tournaquet instead of Tumeric (the spice)

Quarm, instead of Quorn.

Oh and loads of other annoying things, but then he IS dyslexic. Drives DS up the wall.

Dh calls slow songs 'Ball-ards'.

I don't know, this is all somethink and nothink

I'm off to hos-pi-cal later

My friend's mother had a dinner party once and made a starter of Parma Ham and Melon.
She couldn't for the life of her say "Parma Ham" and kept saying "Parma Harm"

A friend of mine calls muslin cloths 'Muslims'.

"Oooh could someone pass me a Muslim?"

"Oh I just use a Muslim on my leaky boobs"

"There's a Muslim at the bottom of my bag"

etc. I have to try veeery hard not to PMSL.

And she even pronounces it with a bit of an "oo" like on book i.e. Mooslim.

Great Auntie F and a friend gossiping about one of the neighbours. 'Yes, she definitely likes a drink. In fact, I suspect she's an alchoholiday.'
At last someone put a name to it... I think I am one of them!!

Fil calls muesli 'Mwezzly'

My sis always says nearly as if it has an n in the middle - nearnly

Jannit. grrr.
I worked with a man who used to say 'I besoom' (presume).

People who say 'Asda's' or 'Tesco's'.
DP currently doing a roofing job has just pointed the chimmerly stack!
My mum says she is going to eye-ka (ikea).

I have an Olivia as well and my uncle always calls her olivi-A (emphasis on A!) drives me mad.
Also people who say ung-yons instead of onions... that one really pees me off!

Cannot say Horse Flesh - instead say Horsh Flesh.
Luckily it does not come up in conversation too much! - only when we are talking about things we can't pronounce.
btw I found this out at school years ago when we had to read a paragraph of a book to the whole class - I was ridiculed (spelling?)

I have an ongoing problem with car park. Comes out as Par Cark every time. Gah.

My DH has LOADS! He says chimerley instead of chimney; he says wardropa instead of wardrobe, mask instead of mast... Grrr, there are loads.

A lady next to me in a sandwich shop asked for a bagwette.
MIL talks about eye-talian food an pronounces compromise as come-promise.

Wow these have totally cheered me up no end tonight!!!! I pmsl !!!!

My main annoyance is with the Petite filous advert! 'helps make bones grow strongerer ' arrrggghghhhhhhh

I used to work for someone who said

bol-cony instead of balcony
Ol-fred in stead of Alfred
Fondent Farncies were his favourite cakes
and
We once sat through a whole assembly about his c-nell (canal) holiday!

It got to the point where I had to stuff my fist in my mouth every time he did it, to stop myself shouting at him
