<p>@CE527M is it the Deep, slow, annoying country voice that is somehow understandable yet not? That’s like country COUNTRY! and Texas accents can be I guess differed among the other various southern accents because we have a twang…yay<em>sarcasm</em></p>
<p>the english language, unlike a lot of other languages, doesn’t really have “official” or “right” pronunciations. it’s not like spelling. there really isn’t a wrong way. I’ve lived in a lot of places, and I always find it funny when people correct pronunciation sometimes. it’s just like, go over to the next country, the other pronunciation is “right” there.</p>
<p>This one is cliche, but “nucular” for “nuclear.” I’ve had several teachers that said it this way.</p>
<p>My teachers add “er” to a lot of words like "area’ is “arier” and “beluga whale” is “beluger whale”.</p>
<p>Not actually in English, but it always bothers me. There is the Hebrew word Yom (it might be familiar to you due to the holiday Yom Kippur) which means day and is pronounced yOm, but people often pronounce it yum which has a totally different meaning in Hebrew (it is sea).</p>
<p>more of a regional accent than a mispronunciation, but some people get annoyed by how people pronounce bag (not like bad, like bayg).</p>
<p>A total different kind of mispronunciation, but my school is doing Romeo and Juliet right now. Our Romeo just moved here from Mexico last year. Cue the hilarious mispronunciations now!</p>
<p>-------------------------------------------If it is to be, it is up to me…</p>
<p>Tarjayyh for Target.</p>
<p>I hate that.</p>
<p>^ Jeez that drives me nuts.</p>
<p>I have a slight Texas accent (it’s been going away a bit ever since I moved to California).
But there are still some words that are hard for me to pronounce.
For example, “women” is pronounced “wihmen” out here, but I pronounce it the way it is spelled (“woah-men”).
I have to visualize it spelled like “wihmen” in my head or else I can’t pronounce it.
I also say “prolly” instead of “probably”.
Also, everyone out here pronounces “aunt” like “ont”, but I always heard it pronounced like “ant”.</p>
