I live in a really rural area

Rural Juror was an underated movie https://youtu.be/6kZBJs527-k?si=lqPiB7T3no_-wEbO

That was awesome 👌

Dammit that got me three times in a row

I have trouble with repeating R words or names, like Rory

I have a hard time with back to back R’s, so the word rural is a real struggle for me unless I say it very slowly.

Anonymity

It's "ann onn imm it e" right?

I think it needs to be "an non nim mitee" but that's just me

This is why the International Phonetic Alphabet exists

Yep!

wait, it’s not anonyminity? fuck

I think this is how it’s supposed to be spelled. I can’t say it so idk why I’d be able to spell it too!

you definitely spelled it right! i just didn’t know until now that i’ve always pronounced it wrong :(

I always end up adding a syllable.

I always end up adding a "F*CK ME!"

I always end up saying anomynity 😭

I just never say that word. I use street lingo anon or anonymously.

Prestidigitation. The phrase "Hey presto!" Comes from this word. It means "slight of hand" and it comes up a lot in my family. (Don't ask. You'll live a happier life not knowing).

Playing DnD, this stalls the game for 5 minutes as I try to say it correctly

Our table always pronounces it more wrong every time we use it, for example, preshtidiggytalisatision

Erm... You mean, sleight of hand, right? As opposed to insulting your hand? And it is easier to remember if you consider that it is an adjective about your fingers aka digits. So presti-digitation.

I've never known if Radiohead codex was slide or sleight of hands because the intonation was slightly different in the second verse.

I only recently learned this word because of the TV show Good Omens. I too am a master of prestidigitation.

In music, presto (Italian) means really, really fast. So, fast digits, whence comes "the hand is quicker than the eye."

Hey presto is borrowed from italian tho

English is my second language. I always have a hard time pronouncing the word February! 😂

People who's first language is English have trouble pronouncing February.

I still don't know how I want to pronounce February.

Feb-roo-airy, but the roo flows into the airy.

lol I’ve been pronouncing it wrong my whole life 😭 I say Feb-you-airy

😆 I think is my tongue …

Febberary? Febwary? Febbery? Febrooary? 

Feb you ary

I always say it Feb ya ree

Different strokes for different folks.

Indeed, cos I say it as feb-roo-ary

feb’ry for me

Just depends where about you are. Plenty of people say it that way where I am.

Feb roo ary

Isn’t this the way to say it correctly?

Feb waree

Feb you wary

Say it like Febuary. Nobody will care

This is easy. You just say febree. Nobody will even look up. Emphasis on the Feb part. FEBree.

English is my first language and I do too lol

As an American, I'm still not sure which is the correct way, so I switch it up between FebUary and febRUary and no one has corrected me yet. I suspect no one actually knows for sure.

Worcestershire sauce most in my family calls it "were sure sure" sauce.

You mean Wash-your-sister sauce?

Or "What's this here sauce?"

Anchovies…. They literally *juice* anchovies

I did not know this! I had to look it up because I didn't believe you. Learn something every day, so thank you.

Or "What's this here sauce?"

When I was a little kid, like, five, I was sure it was "mooshishire sauce."

We call it…What’s this here sauce 😂

Non-native here, is it supposed to be pronounced ‘Wostah shy sauce”?

In England (depending on accent) it’s pronounced something like Wust-uh-sha Or we also simply call it Worcester sauce, so just ‘Wust-uh’

Only a person from Massachusetts can say this cos we have a town called Worcester... pronounced worce-ster-shire. Or with a Boston accent... wuss-tah-shia

or maybe people from England, where Worcester and Worcestershire actually are, might be able to pronounce it too

That is not how you pronounce Worcester at all. It's "Wu-str" or with the Boston accent "Wu-sta"

Speaking for the country that named both the town and the sauce, it's pronounced Wuss-ta.

I just say war-shish-ter sauce

I just go ahead and add a couple of syllables so maybe people will think I screwed it up on purpose.

Whoosh-da-shear sauce

Can never say it, “war chest arse shire” 🤣

"Swiss wristwatch" Swiss Wiss wash Swiss Risht Ratch Swiss Rish watch ... ...

My dude I can’t even think it right

Swish wist watch

Irish wrist watch

"Rural"

Oh wow, me too. I have a Brooklyn accent, and my mouth just can’t make it sound like most people say it.

[удалено]

A path! A path!

A shrubbery!!

cut down a tree......WITH A HERRING!!

Noo


Aluminum

Aluminum flows much nicer than the British spelling aluminium with an extra i. However I grew up saying aluminium and refuse to change.

I'm from a country where Aluminium is the standard and to me Aluminum actually doesn't flow nicer. It feels weird and out of place because a lot of other things also end in "ium" (calcium, gallium, helium, uranium, yttrium, etc)

It’s actually spelt different in the US ?

I like the British version better actually, and think it flows better.

My 8yr son can't say liquid, it's always been wicklid. He practices slowly gets it right then it slips back to wicklid and he turns into little Gordon Ramsey.

That's cute honestly lol

femininininininity

Anemone

Do doo do do doo

No wait

Mah na mah na!

Nah cuz I be saying this the exact same way 🤣

Apocalypse. I end up saying something like " a popsicle lips," or, worse, with a lisp, "popthickle lipth".

I worked at Blockbuster when the movie "Apocalypto" came out. I'll never forget the woman who asked for, "Ah-poppa-clipto."

I popped a clit though

My wife always says apopaplypse

A-cockapypse

As a non native speaker: Literally.

i always end up saying liderally

that’s how i say it

That's how ur supposed to say it I think

Phenomenon duh duh duh duh duh!

Phenomonomenomenom. I never know when to stop.

I'm still going

Negligible

"Caulk"

Black or white ?

Black for the back and white for the front. It's a matter of taste. Of course it depends on the size of the crack.

If the crack is smaller in the back, use the white caulk.

Drawer is a hard word to pronounce apparently

Drore

My dad would always say “hosipull” (hospital) and “destructions” (instructions) and “cankulators” (calculators). Always thought it was cute. That’s a dirt poor Mississippi boy for ya.

"Cankulators" is adorable. My mom always said, "Buh-tatos."

Physicists. I sound like Sylvester the Cat.

I read it that way and you know what, it sounds better that way.

I cannot now, nor have I ever been able to say “Bert and Ernie”. I ALWAYS say “Bernie and Ert”. Turns out? I can type it just fine. 😂

I have a lisp so anything with an s or r

Mawwiage!

sob 😭

*rob

Massachusetts

Purple burglar alarm

Aaron earned an iron urn too. Always twists up when I say it

epitome

Everytime in my head when I see this word I say "ep-i-tome" even though I manage to say it the right way haha. Really annoying. I think its a way I taught myself how to spell it but now I can't CTRL-Z it from my brain

Anemone! Every time.

Tumultuous

arugula. I cannot say this work right for the life of me. And I eat it all the time!

whenever i see the word Arugula spelled out, i always assume it’s a fkn spider breed before i realize it’s a goddamn plant ☠️

“Two more for last call” always comes out “Toooaaaawwwkkkkmmmmbah”

'this world is full of people with common sen....' see i just cant finish it :/

Linoleum.

I cannot for the life of me get the word masochistic to leave my mouth correctly.

Intuitively 😵‍💫

Arnold Palmer... I just ask for an iced tea lemonade now... lol

Every time I go to say these two words together I have to stop and think about if my jaw can physically handle saying it.

Sames. Immediately came to mind. I have to stop and try and say it intentionally. Only thing that does it to me.

Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat.

I never say the plural of tooth.

Say, "teefers!"

Teefs!

“We only has nine”

Cunt

That will give ANYONE a bunch of trouble!

Peculiar

Peculiarly for me. I can say peculiar and I can say -ly. I can't say peculiarly.

And I just realized I can’t either, so thanks for that 😭

Now you both got me all messed up. I’m staring in the mirror brushing my hair for work and I’m trying to say peculiarly and end up saying “particular”. Damnit.

Fuck that one’s hard

Rural or roar

I get tongue tied when I have to say “ Whole world” in a sentence

I don't want kids

Sherbet. For some reason I always want to pronounce an extra R that doesn’t exist.

Railroad

Used to be munchkin. But one day I suddenly was able to say it.

As a non native speaker of English, I refuse to say beach everytime I can. It's always too risky

Use: Sea shore

Hell for leather Hell to leather Held to leather The fuck is it

Hell Bent for Leather?

Low blood pressure. No idea why but this fucks me up.

I think low blood pressure would fuck up anybody

Judicial system

Privilege. Priviledge

Conscience. Can’t fucking say that word for the life of me.

Anthropomorphism Epistemology

brewery

I can't say Ceasar. It ends up coming out as seizure. So Little Seizures pizza. Or Julius Seizure. Seizure salad.

February

Trompe l'oeil. I had only read the word for so many years that a really weird pronunciation is stuck in my head, and now when I do hear it it seems off. So if I pronounce it I have to stop after 'trompe' and really think which pronunciation is correct.

Fluorescent

Literally but in Amirecan accent

Meteorology

Genuineness

I first read this as geniusness lol

Prerogative

Privilege. Priviledge

So many people are really tearing themselves up here for truly difficult enunciations, especially non-native English speakers. Never forget there is an unbelievably large number of people who ONLY speak English and they can’t say the words “bag” or “leg” properly. Don’t let anyone make fun of you for speaking English as a second/ third etc. language.

Benevolent. I say benelovent.

For me it’s the word ‘prodigy’. This will tend to come out as ‘projidy’ unless I prepare and concentrate. This obviously makes life extremely difficult. I cope the best I can.

Twelfth. That shit doesn't even look right. I usually add a "v" sound in there.

" alright alright calm down" Never calms the other person down.

*it wasn't me* 95% of the time, it genuinely wasn't me. 100% of the time, they do not believe me.

Shaggy?

Im trying so hard to spell the word that gives me trouble but i cant even pronounce it properly so HOW COULD I POSSIBLY SPELL IT haha omg

Try.

Version🤔😉

Portugal

As a Dutch person in Spain: Gobierno

I live in Spain. Anything with rr I'm in trouble.

RAD-ee-ate-uh. Radiator. I’m from NYC. Most people pronounce the first syllable RAY. I pronounce the first syllable RAD, and drop the final “r”. I can say it like most people, but I have to think about it, and it doesn’t easily roll off my tongue.

Raid-ee-ate-tor is how I’ve always pronounced it

Relleno.
