yorgut instead of yogurt.
That's pretty annoying
From the top of my head, I knew one person that would say 'Para-set-a-mol' rather than 'Para-seat-a-mol'.
That was annoying.
Anything northerners say
i used to to say it para-seat-a-mol but everyone else says para-set-a-mol lol :S i picked up a lot from my friend who is originally from bristol, she would rage at me for saying premark instead of prymark (Primark) lolQuote:

Darren instead of Derren
Any word that someone Pronounces different than I do.
the way americans say "'erbs" instead of "herbs"
because there's a ******* h in it
book cook look grass bath scone
/canofworms
People who say 'of' instead of 'have'
like when it should be 'would have' and they say 'would of'
Foun'ain
Wa'er
There's a goddamn t in it.
90% of people don't even know when to use have instead of of :( never mind pronounce it rightQuote:

for me though I think mispronoucing bath and grass, it's grass not graaaaaaaaaaaaaarsss
Only the uneducated (read: northerners) think that grass should be pronounced with a short a "because that's how it's spelt". If that was how language worked and only short vowels existed then good luck with the word language itself
LAN GUH AGGEH?
Now you're just picking words out of the sky. I mean like Bath and Grass and Math it's like JUST SAY IT PROPERLY NOT ELONGATE THE WORDS LIKE YOU RAN OUT OF THINGS TO SAYQuote:

Hmm, I want to know what you lot say to this word....
Tuna (Tune - a)
Tuna (Choon - a)
as a few of my friends say Tune - a & the others say it like Choon - a
What choon is the pronunciation of tune those aren't two different things you're saying lol
Unless you pronounce tune as toon in which case you're wrong
people who say expresso instead of espresso
i don't like coffee but dead annoyin imo
curful, puur, mirrur, haiur, mariah...Quote:

Aluminum instead of aluminium
Raught instead of root for route
Bayter instead of beeter for beta
Sal-t instead of s-all-t for salt
Baff instead of barth for bath
Viteamin instead of vitamin
Achiachatura instead of achackatura
Rather fittingly, pro-nounce-ee-ation instead of pro-nunce-iation
Cl-ass instead of clarse
Tesco instead of tescos
Tbh I could go on for so long lmao get so easily annoyed by all this. Not so bothered by wa'er tho being from London after all ;)
What on earth is an achackatura
A type of musical note ;p basically just a super quick one with no length valueQuote:

when people say harpy monett instead of how harpy mone, its a silent t. ;w;
IT BUGS ME SO BAD OK
Some people, mostly Americans pronounce Erin and Aaron the same. I get so annoyed when either name is used in a US TV show.
Kinda reminds me one year at school the names on the roll went Erin, Aaron, Aria or something and the sub teacher pronounced them all the same we were just like 'yeah we're all here'.
why would bath be pronounced Barth :s is this another musical note otherwise im totally lostQuote:
