    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.)

    I have the same problem. War and roar sound the same when I say them and for the life of me I can not say cordoroy!

    I am a southerner, too and though I really know how to pronounce towel and boil they always come out of my mouth as 'tal' and 'bowl'. As in "could you hand me that tal to dry my hands, I spilled some bowld water on them." haha

    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 >:(

    Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. :noway:

    Can you believe I ran into this word TWICE (!) in the last year.

    And by the way, it's the fear of long words.

    WOW, and try to say it three times fast too..........ha ha.........you could get a lot of money from bets!! Tell them "hey, I bet you can say this word ten times fast........bet you a million dollars! " :)

    I used to correct a friend of mine all the time about how she pronounce process........she'd say "PROcess"...........instead of making the "o" an "ah" sound......

    Me too! People correct me, so I correct them back using the improper pronunciation just to mess with them. Gets them all frazzled. ;)

    Washington or wash. I have a Missouri accent I guess and it comes out Warshington and warsh. Also Wisconsin comes out Wesconsin. My whole life I didn't realize I was pronouncing Wisconsin wrong until a few years ago a co-worker made fun of me because of the way I pronounced it.

    I'm Canadian and I guess I say dawler for dollar, how do you guys say it?

    I have no idea. xD I say dawler as well. And I'm from Southern Florida. :3
    Maybe doll-are. But that sounds so silly to me!

    You mean it's not pronounced dawler? :huh:

    Worchestershire (as in the sauce)....I think I say it right but it kind of comes out like Daffy Duck or Sylvester are saying it.
