Damn It! I can't ever seem to say/spell that word!!

[Malika Fantasy]

I'm French so I do make a fair amount of mistakes in words that are spell a bit differently...

Massachusetts is a word I have a hard time pronouncing.
Thought/tough I mix them all the time
thighs/tights

I have problems saying roar and rural. Fortunately, men think it's cute.

I take great pride in my diction, but "rural" is also my nemesis

Try saying "Rural Jurour", which is a reference from the show 30 Rock

Tried and can't do it. LOL

I've always had difficulty in saying "please stop pleasuring me".

 

[Trailer Park Boy]

Unfortunatly, I have a hard time, every time, spelling unfortunately.

Also heard an American DJ mispronounce the name of the old Canadian band "The Payola's" today. What makes it hilarious is that the name of the band is a direct reference to the act of accepting cash to play a record on air in hopes that it will eventually become popular. Payola was a big scandal back in the early days of Rock and Roll involving many well known DJ's including Alan Freed and Dick Clark.

Civilization

Civilization

Or, as the British would spell it, civilisation.

I could never say Czechoslovakia for some reason, not that it ever really came up much.
For My convenience they separated. Now it never comes up.
Well, except here.

SPs (and others) that try to seem worldly but don't know the difference between discrete and discreet.

Even Rogers Cable get's those two wrong (watch it in their Adult Video disclaimer).

 

[GPIDEAL]

Contemporaneous or contemporaneously.

Many words with double letters like .

Massachusetts is hard for me to pronounce .

Words like Caribbean,beginning, accomodation etc can be hard to spell where sometimes you are not sure whether it's the r's or the b's, C's or the m's that should be double, or whether it's one n or two n's etc

I'm also uncertain how Caribbean is supposed to be pronounced? "Care-i-be-in" or "Cur-rib-be-in" or something else?

Another one is anemone.

 

[MissCroft]

"Cur-rib-be-in"

I pronounce it like that. That's how my Jamaican and Bajan friends say it.


I sometimes have a bit of trouble saying manipulative.

 

[GPIDEAL]

physicist can be a tongue twister, Especially astrophysicist.

Another one is ophthalmologist (I had to use spell checker here cuz I got it wrong the first time).

I remember as a kid that 'electrician' stumped people in a spelling Bee because we didn't know about the pesky 'a' letter.
