Apparently I can't say the word "almond" correctly. :/


What words do you have trouble pronouncing or get made fun of when you say it?

    "Tuesday". When I say it, it usually comes out like "choosday". It's not even that weird but everyone laughs at me. I DON'T GET IT. :x

    I can't say the name Paul right. It either comes out as Pawl or Paahhl. Can't seem to find the middle ground.

    I will also never say the word moist, I can pronounce it just fine but it's a horrible word and make me cringe. I'm yacking a little just from typing it.

    Anything with an R and a W. I have a speech problem and I have to try really, really hard. xD I get them confused so things come out like this if I speak too fast (or without thinking), "She rowe a wed dwess at the redding." (Translation: She wore a red dress at the wedding.)

    "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.

    I don't have a problem saying this word but it seriously bothers the s**t out of me when someone says "pacifically" instead of specifically!

    railroad... I have to say it in two parts to get it even close, like rail--road. Otherwise it comes out sounding like rareroad.

    I do not, but people post that disgusting scene on my facebook ALL THE TIME! Drives me nuts. The people at my work found out about it and are relentless.

    apparently, I roll my tongue in the word "green" so it comes out sounding like I'm Irish or something.
    and I say water like "wutter". I'm from Georgia so I guess that might have to something to do with it.
