    Default Pronouncing words incorrectly?

    I'm just curious if anyone is as terrible as I am. I am awful at pronouncing certain words and even after someone has corrected me I will still pronounce them wrongly. Off the top of my head, everyone corrects me for how I say addict I say add-dict or how I say accept, I pronounce it assept. Same with things like lingerie I will pronounce as ling-ger-ray. I'm sure there is so many more, but I can't think, so I will add as time goes by.

    So, what words do you pronounce incorrectly?

    I am terrible with 'Th' - so The comes out as Vuh. That comes out a Vat. Words such as Three come out as Free. If I try to pronounce 'Th' properly, it'll sound too posh or too stressed!

    I used to struggle with Millennium, but I'm fine with that now.

    As for everything else, it's all subjective. It's common in my town to miss the 'G' off the end of words and to not to pronounce 'T' unless it's at the start of a word.

    Erm well three and free usually cause i get the 'th' sound wrong, but i think thats down to my accent/dialect rather than saying it wrong.
    But when people drop their T's annoys me and because I live near Blackpool everyone does it and i want to hit them :L

    The only word I struggle to pronounce is similarly. It always comes out as either simile or similalalay for some reason .

    Regarding the post above, oh yes it's very annoying!
