Annoying pronunciations

Judge Judy today was getting up some young blokes for their pronunciation.

They were saying "marlboro red and smooth"...but it came out "marbo red and smooth".....she gave them heaps:24:

I can't say marlboro. I try, but my tongue just gets frozen and it doesn't come out right at all. I don't know how I say it, but I know Matt laughs.

:24:

and FebUARY with no R, and Wensdy instead of wednesday...(Ok...I dont say wed nes day..but I say it Proply)


Proply:24:

I do say Wensdy. Or closer to that than Wednesday. I guess it's more when's day...

Okay, that's funny...Kim's post was NOT there when I posted mine...LMFAO Too
funny.

What words do people say that "annoy" you or get under your skin due to how they pronounce them

For example, our IT Director says project...PRO ject (as in Pro Footballer) which may be the way in the US (I have no idea) but over here....nuh huh.

Now you go

How he pronounces project is just an American thing

I hate when I hear people pronounce my State WARSHINGTON, there is no R in Washington and I don't warsh my clothes either.

 

[AstriaPorta]

i guess i will annoy lots of people as some words very difficult to pronounced

if i can avoid this word i do
like if i am at the shops and try to find something and i can not find it and have to ask for help i make sure i ask different to avoid it if can happen

like one time i was looking for bed sheets and i had to ask ..
but i worry if i mistake the shit with sheets on the pronunciation so i asked for bed linen :24:
and it is more correct to ask anyway

I don't like it when some Americans pronounce 'Data' as Dar-ta, instead of day-ta

 

[dkwrtw]

Two things

1. I thought Tyler Durden was back for a second lol
2. I have never in my life heard an American pronounce Data as DARTA

 

[HottyToddyChick]

Me too and me either.

I've heard day-ta and daa-ta, but never anything with an R.

Daa-ta is what I mean :24:

 

[cam elle toe]

That's how I say it - and the vast majority of Australians say it like that, too.:thumbup

yep....its dahtah, not daytah

 

[cam elle toe]

I say pasta....with a short a like in ant.

not pahsta...or paysta


oh...and its "piqued" my interest/curiosity...not peeked/peaked:ninja

(thats just another general spelling lesson, and not directed to anyone...its a word I see misspelled a lot)

 

[cam elle toe]

It does bug me when the Yanks (are you a Yank, by the way??) insist they know how to say words properly when clearly, they don't.

Icecream is one word - NOT two! Pizza is said 'Peet-sa' NOT 'Pit-zaa'.

And could the Yanks learn how to say people's names correctly? Aaron is NOT pronounced as 'Erin', it's said 'Aah-ron' - at least that's as close as I can get to writing it.

Australia is NOT pronounced 'Or-Stray-Lia' it's simply 'Ah-Stray-Lia' or even simpler - 'Straya'.:thumbup

No i'm an ausssie...where are you from?

 

[cam elle toe]

We are both Aussies then, and we know how to speak properly!:thumbup

24: too funny


WHere you from?

 

[cam elle toe]

Victoria!

Go Swannies:thumbup:ninja

I'm in Coffs Harbour..(yeah...everyone on here knows where I live)

 

[anathelia]

You people must know some weird Yanks. It's pahsta.

And my grandmother says warsh. But she's from back east in New York. And her and my aunt say "Ro-but" in stead of robot. -_-

I can't think of any other words right now that drive me crazy.

 

[Natasha]

Everything that comes out of a Yanks mouth annoys me!:jk

You seriously need to get out more, then. LOL

I work w/ a girl that says "rum" instead of "room"...I pick on her all the time. But it's okay b/c they pick on me b/c I apparently say "thurrrr" instead of "there."

 

[itsmeJonB]

When people say mute for moot
When people say nuculur for nuclear
When people say liberry for library
When people say axe for ask
I hate ignorance and laziness

When people pronounce Scorpion as Skwerpian
