Most Annoying Mispronounced Words

[Krackerjacked]

Shoutout to Muzz for the thread idea via his spelling thread.

What words are commonly pronounced wrong that bug you the most?

My number one is people who say height as if it has an h on the end. Heighth.

People who pronounce strength strenth is annoying too lol.

it is more obvious in print than spoken but it drives me crazy when people say "would of" instead of "would have"

[Godfrd824]

Not a mispronounced word, but you know someone is a retard when they don't know the difference between jealousy and envy.

Also I mispronounce words wrong on purpose to trigger people.

For example, I pronounce facade as fak-aide, and queue as queve.

[MiscMathematician]

caramel as carmel

Sure they're not just saying would've? Is would've even a word? Looks dumb when I type it.

I have a boomer in my office that constantly says "I says" instead of "I said" when referring to how she replied to another person.

That reminds me, I had a teacher who would yell “why?” If anyone asked how come lol. Needless to say I don’t ask how come.

I do this sometimes for fun, sounding out the wird how it seemingly should be ie bologne.

caramel as carmel

lol I say caramel and my buddy gives me chit for it

Heigth. It's fuking HEIGHT. Length, width, and HEIGHT.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

It's caramel. Carmel is a city in NY.

happens here all the time

Definitely Wingardium Leviosa. Infuriates me to the point of volcanic eruption every time someone gets it wrong.

Axe me again later and I’m sure I’ll think of one

[nn586]

ax instead of ask

[MyGhettoFantasy]

"Melk" instead of milk.

Very regional but there is a road in the Detroit area named Lahser (la-sir) and everyone says Lasher.

[FelixTheCat1919]

Cool Whip being pronounced as "Cool Who-ip".

People who don't understand the concept of silent h's are neanderthals

[John L]

Never heard anyone pronounce height “heighth” in my life

[tranceNhouse]

idk op

honestly, i could care less

[N0rds]

"aks"

For dumbfuk people who don't know what the word "ask" is.

[xxAchillesxx]

I'm in construction. Hear it all the damn time

[SuperHercules]

Nuclear. I can't believe some tards actually say it like new kiu lar

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Stupid fuk Americans always say "expecially" with an X instead of an S.

Makes me rage. The worst is when it's the same American athlete, or pop-figure that constantly uses it wrong.

No wonder everyone on earth thinks we're retards.

[bradlehman]

This one is spelling and not pronunciation, but I see it constantly. "Que" instead of cue. I guess they're getting the spelling sort of confused with queue.

For pronunciation, I find it irritating when people say mischievous, ambidextrous, etc., as "miss-chee-vee-us" and "am-bih-dex-tree-us." Same with realtor being pronounced like "real-ih-tor."

A lot of pronunciation issues arise from the fact that so many people never read and actually see the words, but instead are just mimicking what they hear other people saying.

[JeepBruh]

Niche. This one is debatable. Most people pronounce it as nitch, like bitch. Should be knee-sh, like how douche sounds.

[H00J]

I’ve only met 1 person who says mayonnaise properly


Ma-yo-naise

Everyone else (me too) says ma-naise

[brahnotah]

It's called a fuqqin scone. That'll get just about every Brit arguing.

[FelixTheCat1919]

Specifically, people say "may-naze" rather than "mah-maze"

[SuperHercules]

Never heard anyone say nitch or manaise, must be a low IQ American thing
