    Apparently with my Pittsburgh accent, any word that ends with an “L” sound. I don’t hear it but everyone here in the south gives me a hard time about it.

    I don't say it wrong, but I feel like it sounds really weird when I say "rural".

    ~ Misled ~

    This is more a word I mispronounced in my head for years and years (and years!) while reading novels. Because I'm a huge fan of crime stories, spy thrillers and the like, this word was everywhere. "Your honor, I was missled!" :blushing:

    Even though I eventually found out what it actually sounded like, I still find myself stumbling over it when reading and I have to go back to the start of the sentence and begin again so I read it properly.

    I always have problems with Acai. I'm not so sure it's a pronunciation thing or if it's just a weird word.

    Spaghetti. Yes, I'm a 38 year old, college educated person who still occasionally says, "pasketti" on accident.:blushing:

    ETA: Oh, and my regional dialect comes through loud and clear whenever there's a T sound in the middle of a word. "Thirdy" for "Thirty". "Liddle" for "Little". Ugh, I'm so Midwestern.

    When I was little I used to think "this morning" was pronounced, "This smorning". When I first entered into the medical field I had a difficult time learning how to say "panniculectomy" but now that I finally have that word down and work in a different unit, I stumble when saying "opioid overdose".

    I was thinking about this thread the other day and still can't say "Worcherstirree."

    I also realized I can't say/spell Balsamic.

    I always add an extra "L." Balsalmic.
