[bobbinwales]

Agree with skelenton. Everyone knows its skellington.

[bobbinwales]

Lots of people here say amberlance and poplar for popular, and am sure Bobbisox will confirm lots of Geordies and mackams say fillum

[ToraToraTora]

PMSL bob!

[Etch]

'Of' instead of 'have', and 'after' instead of 'have to' - bobbinwales take note :-)

Dashund for Dachshund, we don't say bash for Bach, the composer.
Glarsgow.

[Hopkirk]

Not so much a mispronunciation, as a grammar mistake.

In Babushka, Kate Bush sings "he could not have made a worst move"

It really annoys me.

VULCAN, how do you pronounce "Bach"?

[gingejbee]

Re: Bach. The question is - do you Anglicise (or not) foreign names/places?
For example, who tries to get "van Gogh" pronounced as it's meant to be?

[andy-hughes]

Some of these are down to regional speech patterns - Aksed being a case in point.

I can never understand why every single BBC employee, news readers, DJ's, everyone, says 'Secatary' in stead of 'Secretary'.

It may be a 'London' thing.

Scent , as in perfume which letter is pronounced silent the S or the C

[vulcan42]

TCL, I knew somebody would ask that. I was making the point that Dach in Dachshund is similar to Bach so why do people say Dash?

[Hopkirk]

How can you mispronounce scent?

[gingejbee]

^anybody with class would say "parfum"!

[Atheist]

Pronounciation!
