What words do you have trouble pronouncing?

VanishaDawn

Statistics, monkey (I say moan-key) and worchestershire (Hell, I can't even spell it !)! Lol My mom doesn't say penguin, she says "pang wang" lol

ctsenos

I can't say "iron" it's hard lol

According to my husband, "aunt" and "Italian" I say funny

I say "aunt" how it's spelled, and supposed to be pronounced (not like the bug, 'ant')

And "Italian" I say with a short 'i' instead of EYEtalian. He makes fun of me >:(

Does your husband say eye-taly too?

Rear. I have trouble with too many r's as well.

mommared53

worcestershire sauce

I honestly believe it's stranger if you CAN say this.

:laugh:

Yes - this one is crazy - can anyone say it!

Woostah-shurr.

Really :-)

I didn't think I had trouble with that word until I started trying to say it on this thread. Now I have no idea how to pronounce it. :laugh:

TBH I tripped over all my words on the daily... really not sure why. My daughter has the same issue.. only worse. Not sure if it is a neurological deal or what. One word though I have had to say a lot this week is Colonoscopy. AND I couldn't even spell it here... because I can't say it.. had to look it up for the spelling..... lol I guess as well.. MFP doesn't even know how to pronounce it because it is telling me my spelling is wrong.. but I looked it up!!! HAHAHHAHAHHAH

Specifically.

I don't know why but I can't say that word without speaking slowly.

"Dollar".

I say it like daw-ler. And I got mocked for sounding like a "Canadian". Which I really don't think is a bad thing, but apparently it's something worth making fun of when you live in Michigan.

There's a lot of words like that, actually. Pretty much anything with both an "a" and an "o" in it.

ah, the good old flat michigan a. "laaaaaaaansing".

I do both of those, and so does everyone else I've ever talked to. Those aren't incorrect pronunciations.

Ross and Russ - I don't hear a difference.

Darkskinned88

"sorry i was wrong" i just cant bring myself to say it lol

Saruman_w

I can't think of any words I have difficulty pronouncing. I tend to stutter if I try to speak too fast though... I got nothing.

Certificate.

It never fails to come out as certicafit.

burg1801

Water. I'm from the south so everyone looks at me weird when I say it.

SandysNewLife

I have always said "oar" for our .Just habit I guess ; )

robot_potato

I talk like a nervous chipmunk, I always sound excited. Everything is mispronounced. T's sound like d's and words slur together. I got picked on a lot when I was a kid.

myogibbs

Rolls Royce. I say Rose Royce....sometimes I can say it when I go slow & really concentrate.

this is funny, I've met plenty of adults who still say Crown, it's hilarious to me

When I was in elementary school, I asked someone for a "Crown" and they laughed at me. It was painful. I definitely will never forget that day.

snewsome7

I have never been able to say "abracadabra". It comes out as "abercadaber" every time unless I say it SUPER slow. And I also can't say "rural"

LJV1031

I was just talking about this yesterday, lol. Philisophical. I can't say it correctly 9 out of 10 times, unless someone literally says it first. Whenever I want to use the word I verbally put out a disclaimer... because I am a little obsessed with spelling and pronunciation. *DANG OCD TENDENCIES* :grumble:

alyson820

Mississippi and Massachusetts.

They come out 'mis-a-shippy' and 'mash-a-shoo-shets'

LesliePierceRN

rural

ElementalEscapee

I can't say my R's, so apparently I have a Boston accent or something....or, quoting my friend, "You don't have an accent, you just talk funny. LOL." Haha xD Wrist watch= wish wash. And yeah...wabbit....wascal...quacker (cracker)....etc.

It's "ih-tal-yen", not EYEtalian. Americans always piss me off with this!

I am VERY American, and have NEVER said EYE-talian... so I don't think it is an American thing. :indifferent:

Not all people who are American say EYE-talian, but all people who say EYE-talian are American, as far as I've seen. :P
