Words You Have Trouble Saying.

The Three Words™. ["Have more tea"? - someone]

"Synthesizer." It inevitably dissolves into a mess at the end, so I just say "synth."

I'm also one of those people that has a tendency to drop the L in "wolf" if I'm not paying attention.

 

[John Picard]

Of course I'll still respect you in the morning.

 

[Squiggy]

Matchbox. This was really fun when I was on the radio and Matchbox 20 came up.

When I was a kid I could not for the life of me pronounce "parallel" - and I mean 9 - 12 years, not little kid. Can't remember now what gave me the trouble.

I still have to concentrate to say "cumulative" correctly, I have to working out in my head starting from "accumulate"

I also swallow my 't's, which isn't wrong necessarily but isn't something Canadians do, so little miss trampledamage keeps correcting me "KeeTON, mummy!" The boys name "Theoren" took a while to figure out too.

 

[Winged Victory]

For me, I could never get out the word, "statistics."

Same here; "statistics", "statistically", and "specifics/specifically" I just can't get out! S followed by p's or t's are difficult for me.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I have a problem rolling my arse.


... I mean, rolling my "R"s. Yes. "R"s.

 

[RoJoHen]

I have a problem rolling my arse.


... I mean, rolling my "R"s. Yes. "R"s.

Are you attempting to speak a language which requires this?

Also, since my freak tongue accident last year, I can't quite roll my Rs as well as I used to.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I have a problem rolling my arse.

I don't have much a problem doing that ...

 

[Holdfast]

"sorry"

Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Bastard. I am most annoyed you got to that joke before me. I hit multi-quote on Roger Wilco's post to make it and was scrolling down and then saw you got to it first.

Anyway, I sometimes have a little trouble with words like London, company, onion, monster, etc. Due to my mother's accent, I have a tendency to pronounce the "o" in them a little nasally, almost turning it into a "u". I've corrected this mostly over the years, but occasionally it still slips out with the wrong pronounciation. A chink in the armour of my otherwise fairly RP accent.

Thank you.
