Undoubtably

[BosomForAPillow]

DH keeps saying "undoubtably" instead of "undoubtedly".

Any advice?

Leave him.

Thing is, they're so similar that I don't think anyone else would know he's doing it.

BUT HE IS.

stab him, I would

I've already got him to stop saying "could of", "somethink" and made sure he doesn't muddle up their/there in his texts. I just don't know if undoubtably is worth tackling.

Does he also say "innit"?

Surely your name should be "BosomforaPillow"

I am joking btw.

No, he doesn't say innit.

Surely your name should be OnePieceOfLollipop

Make him choose either to say indubitably or undoubtedly. If he doesn't stick to the agreement, you start cancelling/locking Sky channels until you have nothing but QVC left.

Is it similar to that Friends episode where Joey can't say 'supposedly' and there's a wonderful moment where he is muttering 'supposably' to himself whilst trying to work out what's wrong with it?

Maybe "OnePieceofLollipop" - I shall have to give up soon as I am about to embark on second glass of wine!

I tried to say "anonymity" at work (completely appropriately) the other day and gave up on the third attemp. Some words defeat me totally.

attempt

Yes! It is just like that. DH has laughed at that episode in the past and says "supposably" now as a joke...at least, I think it's a joke.

I could start saying indubitably and see if the penny drops. That could be quite fun anyway.

I can't say impetigo which is embarrassing as DS has it and I've had to try and say it a few times today. I might just stay indoors until it has gone.

I can't say 'peculiarly'. Try it: it's really hard!

Practise! Think in terms of syllables and enunciate each phoneme carefully, eventually it becomes easy.

Obviously I have head start as I have to administer spelling tests every week.

Sounding like the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland isn't so bad after a while.
