    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

    My dad can't say ORANGE - it comes out more like OINGE

    I had a neighbor that couldn't say CRAYON - came out like CROWN...

    I personally have trouble with RURAL... it comes out more like RULE or at best RURL.... All part of my love affair with the English language! :wink:

    Definitely this word for me. And as long as we're talking about food, my German husband giggles every time I say spoetzl wrong.

    I have a hell of a time with "patronize". Is it a "long" or a "short" a? I've heard it said both ways. Yet despite how I say it, I'm usually told that it's the other way.
