Words your parents pronounce/use that drive you CRAZY!!!

[Notsurehwhattdo]

My parents say ON-velope. Rather than EN-velope. Cin-a-MAR, rather than Cin-a-ma.

Slightly differently, they also say 'trod on' rather than 'stepped on'. I know it's not incorrect, I just hate the posh way they say trod and think it's a horrible word!

All the above drives me crazy! Aaaaarrrghhhh

Inspired by the theatre thread!

I know people who pronounce register as "red-chester"

Ad-vocado and luss-ahn-yah 😬😬😬

I pronounce cinema - pictures

I remember when my son joined Cubs many years ago, my dad was not happy, as he believed the scouting movement was full of 'paediatricians'

Li - bree. Sek er tree. Conk er ete. Wem ber Lee. Eng er land. Missing or extra syllables.

Personal peeves are everythink, somethink and grow-en for grown blow-en for blown etc

As I tell my international colleagues, the great thing about English, is that even if you get it wrong, most people will understand what you’re saying!
The same definitely can’t be said for some other countries when we try to speak their language: French and Spanish service people are always remarkably keen to point out our pronunciation errors🤣🤣🤣
