Does anyone you know pronounce words differently of strangley so that it gets on your nerves?For example I HATE when people say hospital like "hostible" and I also think that "exscape" is really annoying:mad:.Have you ever slagged or called someone up on it?

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.

I HATE when people say Afraird instead of Afraid...
Is it that difficult to pronounce??

Also once had a boss who couldn't say Hanger..
There were alot of hanners around that place...

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.

That does my head in, too.

'Quirk' instead of 'Cork'; 'ite' instead of 'out'. :mad::mad::mad:

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