      I can't roll "particularly" of the tongue. It takes saying it in syllables.

      I can pronounce anything within the vocabulary I know, but my wife has trouble with her "sp". Like spaghetti, specific. It comes out psketti, and pacific.

      I usually say "ax" instead of "ask." Not that I can't pronounce it. Just so use to saying it.

      Anesthesia, anesthesiologist, anesthetize, et al.

      I think it's the "the" in there that messes my tongue up.

      Invitation. I always say invintation. Don't know where the extra n comes from.

      Calgary. It gets all caught in my mouth. So I just say Flames instead (usually related to hockey so it works).

      Woost-a-sheer - easier as I'm a Midlander (UK) but it's not at all pronounced how it's spelt, annoyingly enough. Shrewsbury is also not Shrews-bury, but Shroes-bury. Special language... :P
