...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

[sophie_1003]

my old chestnut, people who say Pacific instead of Specific.

I can never get my head around Anemone, I always say Amenome - and the same with with Pyramid, I can read it OK but my mouth says Pymarid.

Keep telling him it`s Craig David but he won`t listen

Got a mate who says she loves slobbing around in her "dressing gowned" also has taken me 25 years to stop hubby saying folk as if it rhymes with the first part of Tolkein, not to mention him insisting that voyage is pronounced voyj! And don't get me started on MIL saying coy-in for coin!

Sophie I don't know how it's pronounced Iselworth or I'llworth I usually say the first one. Not that I need to say it a lot. {:-/

My dear old mum used to have us kids in fits with some of the things she`s say. If you remember an old 1940`s actress by the name of Kathleen Harrison in `The Huggets` with Jack Warner, well, that was just like my mum, bless, sniff, sniff.

Yes I know a few people that say "teeoomeric" instead of turmeric, very annoying.
Tamborine, I hate that ("ect") I think it's an American thing.
It's "etcetera" not "ectetera"!

I like the elderly lady who told everyone that her husband was in hospital having an operation on his prostitute.

Love that, AP!
My old Mum used to say that the stuff you spray on hinges to make them work was the M40.

[sophie_1003]

Yes, saw that when you'd posted it before AP, loved it!
Lol mike, it's often old people or children who come out with the best ones!
Dizzzy- that is different to saying words wrong though as they do sound exactly the same!
I'm always doing that askyourgran, with other stuff as well, think it's because our brains expect us to see certain words so we choose to read them as such!

"anaethetist" as opposed to "anaesthetist" is another that bugs me.

My bf always says brown flakes instead of bran flakes & the 4thd instead of fourth in our family its a tradition to get words the wrong way round.Examples include pig and wier=wigan pier,chains in the pest=pains in the chest and a recent one wegging the pashing out but at least its fun
