Words You Have Trouble Saying.

[ShamelessMcBundy]

While i was commenting on the Skeptical Hippo thread bomb, i realized that i have problems pronouncing "skeptical." So i ask, what words do you have problems saying?

 

[Mark de Vries]

I have a slight stammer, so I always loath it when someone asks me where I'm from. 'Netherlands' is a difficult word. I usually just say "I'm Dutch."

I hate using the word Theory because I can't help say Fairy...

One of my favourite programmes called The Big Bang Theory so now I call it Big Bang/Big Bang show and instead of saying I have a theory, I say I have an idea.

 

[Roger Wilco]

"sorry"

 

[Nardpuncher]

Until today I though 'folderal' was 'fodderal'. Crossword puzzle set me right.

Desks, tasks...come out as deskez or desk-es...there's no way for me to pronounce them without sounding odd.

And asked, I have trouble with...no one "axed" is used in the future.

Mouthed was another one I noticed recently. I think I almost got it, but I have to think about it when I say it.

The Dread Pyramid of Itzilichlitlichlitzl!

we shall surely see if she shall sell sea shells by the sea shore

 

[iguana_tonante]

"sorry"

Fonzie, is that you?


I have a terrible accent, so let's just say there are a few words that I don't have trouble saying.

 

[Jadzia]

none really. Once you've taken a course in organic chemistry, everything suddenly becomes easier to pronounce

"dibromopropamidine isethionate", just rolls off the tongue

 

[RoJoHen]

I can't think of any words that I have a hard time pronouncing.

 

[John Picard]

My treat.

 

[Misfit Toy]

"sorry"

Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

 

[auntiehill]

^Yes, it's a sad, sad situation........


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

 

[MeanJoePhaser]

Sorry is a bit overused. Shouldn't apologize too much. Overused, "sorry" becomes more obviously disingenuous and implies weakeness via capitulation to other parties's interests over your own.

 

[WillsBabe]

Cinnamon. Can't say it for toffee. Never have been able to.

 

[John Picard]

No more beer for me, thanks. That's very difficult to say.

 

[ChaosAngel]

No more beer for me, thanks. That's very difficult to say.

yeah I sometimes have problems with that.
I don't realy have pronounciation problems although I have an over-bite but my spelling is atrocious at times... I'm frequintly uncertain if I spelled words correctly.

 

[thumbtack]

I can't think of any personally, but it's stunning how many people can't say "wolf" or "folk".

one thing that bugs me is when people pronounce 'strength' like 'strenth'
there's a digraph there, people! use it!

Better than "stremf."
