Words you can't pronounce

[sokka14]

this isn't me, but tennis presenters on tv can't say "federer".
they just go "feduh". it's like they get to the "d" and give up.

 

[quiet_samurai]

None really, but I ahve a friend who pronounces the word onions "eyen-yuns." Weird....

 

[Chaos Bringer]

Cinnamon or however you spell it.

antidisestablishmentantarianism always comes easily to mind. the person who thought that one up...he needs to die...

oh, and i always say something like "we need these ones." which is grammatically WROOOOOOOOONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's actually "we need these." my mom used to correct me on that all the time. now i correct my friends. but they don't care as much as me,and make the mistake more and more,instead of fixing it like i did.

 

[Davey Woo]

I don't knowingly pronounce any words I use wrong.
I hate it when I hear other people pronounce things wrong though, and I correct my friends all the time.

 

[KEGman321]

I have a few problems, but my sister is worse. She pronounces indians-- indins. She's weird.

 

[The_Echo]

I never have trouble with words, (even foreign ones) for some reason. However, I did mispronounce akin for a little while. (I pronounced it "ay-kin" instead of "uh-kin.")

 

[Uber Evil]

If were on the topic of words people can't pronounce, try saying these tongue twisters 5 times fast: Irish Wristwatch, Unique New York, and everyone's favorite Toy Boat.

Difficult, don't you agree?

What about Selfish Shellfish.

 

[Grayl]

I struggle with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (longest English word) but I'm getting there.

I can spell floccinaucinihilipilification (longest non-technical English word) and pronounce it easily. That took a bit of practice though.

 

[JenXXXJen]

Nothing, I just can't say it right. I generally don't have an accent, but to say that damned word I automatically switch to broad Yorkshire, and even then I have some difficulty.

Stupid fucking word.

Oh, and I know this is wrong, and I can say it right, but I have a really bad habit of pronouncing protagonist as protojonist. Yes, I am retarded.

 

[kemosabi4]

Vietnamese.

Let it be known that on this day, I, kemosabi4, has found another hockey fan on the Escapist!

damn i'm good.

 

[Dugarel]

Most words I have no problem pronouncing, even words from other languages. Although with my accent syllables have a bad habit of bleeding together.

Oh, and I can't properly say 'spray paint' no matter how hard I try, the R likes to wonder around between the syllables.

 

[lwm3398]

i spent most of my child hood being unable to pronounce "dracula" properly.

if you still can't pronounce that, just say bird of Hermes. epic cookie for reference.

 

[Swaki]

vermouth, and thats pretty sad since i work as an bartender.

 

[vamp rocks]

i have yet to meet a word i cannot pronounce (in the commonly used english vocab)

however i was watching some show... i think it was called the hotel inspector... or something... anyway the guy on the show who owned the hotel could not pronounce the word suite.. as in a bathroom suite.. he would say *sue-it* i found that kinda funny lol

It's contradictory...I think... because you could just say establishmentarianism. Holy shit, my spell check knows that one.

 

[Sable Gear]

"vase"...people nag me no matter how I say it! Is it like "vayze" or "vahze"? I have no idea! Make up your minds people!!
