How do you pronounce....

LizT · 2011-05-29 17:33:08

sixth? Do you say six-th or sikth? My friends in the north all pronounce it sikth, thought they were fúcking weird until I was listening to someone on tv today and they pronounced it sikth. A lot of English people pronounce it that way, it just sounds wrong!

Six-th.

Have never encountered anyone saying it sick-th. That's just weird.

Maybe they are trying to tell people that they are feeling unwell?

I'd say that's where people pronounce it with a "t" instead of a "th"
