I knew a girl who used to say "parding" instead of pardon, I was always too polite to correct her but it made me cringe every time she said it.

When people (usually English) add "k" to "ng" words, and random "r"s to words where there are none.

Examples: "Nothingk, anythingk, waitingk, etc"
And "I have a really good idear"

Could you be more pacific?

I love 'brang' instead of brought. I know it's not a mispronunciation, rather it's just wrong.

I know it's endemic to Hiberno - English but the widespread inability of people to pronouce 'th's really gets on my nerves.

If you read "book" and didn't already hear "Buck" then you're not doing it right.

The amount of idiots that call 'espresso' 'expresso' is unreal. Even a woman working in a restaurant I was in recently called it 'expresso'.

Also, bruschetta. It's pronounced 'brusketta' not brusheta'!!! :mad:

Edit: Maybe I'm being harsh with the latter given it's Italian, but.....Ah f*ck it!

holystungun9

I want to go back in time and punch my neighbour who used to say 'lacers' instead of laces.

sparkthatbled

I remember when i was younger and we were forced to move into an area of council flat blocks in the north inner city. I was totally confused the first time i went to the shopsthe local shop and heard this little girl "Ma, getsapatchachickachees!". Translation: "Mother, get me a packet of Chickatees". I'm not posh or from a posh area, but i'd never heard an accent that thick. they also all used to say 'Bankily' for Balcony which really annoyed me, especially when i found myself saying it on order to fit in

harney

All those ****ing retards on here that use taught instead of thought. :mad:

i'd feel like a bit of an eejit saying 'brusketta'. i'm not italian. most irish people say 'brusheta', and unfortunately i'm not gonna break this bad-pronunciation rule. even though i know its the wrong pronunciation!

one proununciation i don't like is when people pronounce tremendous as 'trem-en-jus'.

Hogzy

People who say "I Seen" instead of "I Saw". That really bugs me.

Donkey.... Spell 'monkey' and pronounce it, now spell 'donkey' and pronounce it

EddyC15

I don't like it when issue is pronounced issssu. It sounds strange and, for some reason, almost snobbish.

Also, pronouncing room as 'rum' makes me laugh... and then annoys me.

As for American pronunciations: calling a fillet a 'fillé' is just ridiculous.
