alwasy want to clal Uttoxeter uttox eater

Oh dear, I must have turned into an old lady overnight. Mine is SquareBob SpongePants.

My MIL has 100s of these - the latest is that she prunes her trees with lobsters. I will have to ask the kids for more (they remember them all )

cod, I say Uttox Eater too.

i love them

have a mate who says jewell'ery

Muslim instead of muslin!

Probly.

my mum - flip flaps for flip flops and pompadoms for pappadums (even I dont know how to spell it).

Chair=Cher, heehee, I like that.
Americans say "pronounceation"... just an accent thing for me. I must say all sorts of things "wrong". Dh keeps picking on me because I can't say "pedantic" correctly (or spell it, I suspect).

OMG, how could I have forgotten this one!!! My mum calls the Internet - the Intraweb!!!

'pacific' for specific
'dielexia' for dyslexia

Intraweb!

My dad has some classics:

Cleaverage/cleavage
David Beckenham/Beckham
Cocaynut/coconut
Giberalter/Gibralter

That's just the tip of the iceberg btw.

What about "windowscreen" instead of "windscreen"

I like intentionally misprounouncing place names. We have:

• croush end (Crouch End, only french)
• St. Reatham (Streatham)
• Sluff (Slough)
• High Wi-combee (High Wycombe)

Hmmm, I think there are more, but I can't remember.

my nanna always said D O derrant for deoderant

How would you lot pronounce Towcester??? (all those living in Northampton not allowed to answer LOL).

As it's one DH and I got wrong for 2 1/2yrs !

I used to think the names Roisin was pronounced "Roysin" and Niamh was "Niam" until I had children and bought a name book and saw the pronunciation in brackets
