Do you know someone...

[sophie_1003]

...who says certain words the wrong way?
My boyfriend says the following- Tamsinia instead of Tanzania, Westminister for Westminster (I've corrected him lots and think he now does it just to annoy me!)
and I have a friend who says- genuinely for generally

[Captin Kirk]

Mrs Kirk picks me up all the time for pronouncing receipt with the emphasis on ree-ceipt

[AlBags]

Yes Soph .. 3 of them tonight on CB : )
Still doin the Warwick Weedon N'pton run?

[sophie_1003]

Ooh, have to get on at my mum for all sorts like that- POT noodle and New LOOK, grr lol!

[Hopkirk]

My mother in law could never remember the names correctly for Tescos and Texas (the old diy store), so she called both of them Tescus.

[pips1]

My sister says 'org' for ogre, ha

[sophie_1003]

Rugby-Weedon-N'pton? Yep, start back again on Tuesday, my little old Rover is quaking in it's tyres just at the thought of it!

[tamborine]

lots on here say ect instead of etc = etcetera

[craft1948]

The daughter used to say 'pacifically' instead of 'specifically'..........

[sophie_1003]

That seems to be quite a common one craft, another one from my boyfriend is terrance instead of terrace!
Lol at the org one!

[askyourgran]

I have trouble with pharmaceutical, and Isleworth.

[AlBags]

OK Soph .. GL for new year, term, whatever!

[ELVIS68]

Most of my black friends say axe instead of ask

[sophie_1003]

Ta AB! Last year, woohoo!
How is that second one pronounced askyourgran (or are you not the right person to be asking!)?

[China Doll]

Yeah, me unfortunately. The man hostage is still wondering what kiver and lidneys are...

[pips1]

I could never say abominable until someone said it's ' a bomb in a bull'. The ones that get me are your instead of you're and somethink instead of something.

[mccfluff]

get borrow and lend the wrong way round and in Tamworth they say buzz instead of bus

[chrissa1]

My Mum used to say she liked that singer Kiri Ta Nackawa.

[sophie_1003]

Lol China!
Elvis- I think that's quite a common one too, is that more of a dialect thing though?
pips- that's a very good way on how to pronounce it! And ending ing words with ink annoys me too! Also, have seen some people putting '..why I...' instead of '...while I...', that really got to me!
