As far as I know I pronounce things right. What bothers me though is when people say the following: Preforated instead of Perforated. Fustrated instead of Frustrated. And my favorite is Surrimp instead of Shrimp.

Ok, I’m sure there’s a word I can’t say… but I just can’t think of it… When I do… I’ll come back here!

This post just cracked me up because I think we all do it. I can never say “immunization”. I don’t know why but I get stuck halfway through. My husband makes me die laughing when he is telling me something our church “pasture” said. He just can’t say that word correctly and I always envision our “pastor” grazing in a field, and the flock thing….just makes me giggle is all

I cannot say crayon. I have to conscienciously make myself slow down and pronounce the syllables, otherwise it comes out as “crown”.

There are tons of words I have troubles with, but I blame it on English being my second language

For years I thought vocabulary was voLcabulary. Spelling is strange, especially English spellings. there are a lot of exceptions to he rules.

Contrary to popular belief, I do not say “about” like “aboot” lol

I cannot say “rear” properly… like “rear passenger” in reference to the car… so I’ll say “back passenger” and people look at me funny lol.

I do honestly say “eh” a lot in real life. *blushes*

I can’t pronounce most of my words… sadly.

I have some off the wall accent that causes me to pronounce things like “magnet” wrong and other odd words. People love to giggle and tell me its cute but after a while i just want to beat people up.

Not that I know of. But I’m anal about things like that.

I was almost 30 before I thought about the fact that we say “law” & then pronounce “Lawyer” as “loyer”.

I think most everyone does, though, so I don’t feel bad about that one, LOL.

Tons of them! I am always smugly thinking I can spell quite well too. Wrong on all counts!

I can’t say “strength”. It’s perplexing, really.
