are there some words that trip you up?

[emmie]

that you find hard to spell or worse say. I fall at the first hurdle of unequivocal, for reasons i can't explain, it comes out jumbled, and now i have to put it aside, or find an alternative. Indubitably is another tongue twister. any you care to share?

I have the same problem with apocalypse for some reason.

[Mugget]

ambivalence, I can't pronounce it, or spell it.

[cupid04]

My uncle was always using the word phenomenal in conversation. I still cannot
pronounce it properly to this day. I put in too many noms!

Only Eyjafjallajökull (think I spelt it right) then I practised and can say it perfectly ..so there !

When ever I hear someone say the word "phenomenal" it always makes me want to sing "beep beeeee, bee dee bee!"

I have never been able to spell one word, and my attempts are clearly so bad that even a spell check doesn't get it. I'll try it below - if someone can work out what it is.

con-che-en-tuous

How the bloody nora do you spell that word?

[mike11111]

Not to mention Llanfairpwllgwyngyllchgogerychwyrndrobyllllan
tysiliogogogoch.

[mccfluff]

brewery, it can;t pronouce the r's. i have no trouble with other words with r's in them just that one

[mike11111]

Consciencious.

[milly143]

Even that doesn't sound right like that. Con-che-en-chus.

I also can't say the word Risborough.Despite living in a place for years that has that word in it, whenever I say it, it comes out as risbrwa.

[Mugget]

I love the word phenomenal, I also put in too many noms when I hear the word, lol. I think it's a muppet thing, but I can't help myself from humming.

[milly143]

Ah, thanks mike! Copied indefinitely.

[mike11111]

Conscientious!!!

[Answerprancer]

[mike11111]
