Which word have you been mispronouncing for a long time?

[PJN]

I remember fucking up this word "awry" royally in my mid-teens. I was practicing a speech in front of my fam and pronounced "awry" exactly how it's spelled - aw-ri, mama PJN went

Then the whole fam just went

Never forgot that fuck up and always paused every time I was about to use that word.

A lot of people don't know that Hyundai isn't pronounced like " Haan-day" yet I still here a lot of folk fuck that up.

Same way people still say "Ray-Den" when saying Raiden.

don't they pronounce it "ray-den" in the video games and movies? That's what I remember hearing last I checked

They do and it's been wrong since the 90s but people were so used to saying it as "Ray" that it became the way his name is said in continuity.

how is hyundai pronounced

 

[Soul On Ice]

how is hyundai pronounced

Yeah, I remember an actual commercial for their Genesis line specifically saying its Hun Day like Sun Day.

 

[sorcererforemost]

how is hyundai pronounced

Hee-yun-die

But you'd say the H and the Y together so then it should sound like "Hyun-Die."

If that's changed I'll accept being wrong but on many occasions and from the dealership I've heard them say it the way I wrote and explained it

Mostly it's been asians though since they're a Korean company.

 

[4 Dimensional]

Debt. I always emphasize the “b.”

How to Pronounce “Hyundai”?
As you might imagine, the pronunciation of Hyundai changes depending on where you are in the world. In the US, the commonly accepted pronunciation of Hyundai rhymes with “Sunday”—you’ll notice that this is how it’s said in American advertisements. With that said, in the UK, it’s often pronounced “high-UN-dye.”Of course, Hyundai is a Korean company, and in Korea the pronunciation is closer to “HYUN-day.”

Debt. I always emphasize the “b.”

You have to attach a recording of this. I keep trying to imagine it in my mind, and can't figure out how it sounds pronouncing the b. Now I'm also mad I never paid attention to how this was spelled so it's going to bother me that there is a silent b.

 

[ScorpDiesel]

I'm a spelling and grammar nazi, so I don't remember the last time I mispronounced a word.

But I hear bona fye days

[TheAlias]

Used to pronounced this Bree-Awn- Ni

Until I was in the store and the guy kept saying Bree-OWN-Ni. Asked him and he was like, "Nah, it's not tomato to-mato. It's Bree-own-ni. That's how you say it."

I was like i-ight motherfucker.

I’m super country so that helps some. But it’s like “deb-t.”

The b being there makes no sense. Silent letters are the devil.

How Sway?!!!!

How Sway?!!!!

I have no clue why.

 

[B.Fatsack]

My word was 'Chicago', I'd pronounce it as 'Chicargo'. Come to find out, some of my family and peeps in Detroit pronounce it the same way!

 

[playahaitian]

I don't have many truly embarrassing moments I remember many years ago

But at a fancy mostly white dinner party years ago

I said quin knowa tasted great.

This white woman laughed and corrected me...

"Dear it's keen waa"

I was mortified

But God is good and I went into the greatest stand up routine about white people stealing culture and history of mispronounced and renaming names of immigrants who built this country.

But I still can't ever cook order or eat it without thinking of that night.

Spock...WTF?

I blame your human half.

 

[dugington]

I knew how it was pronounced, it was just my mouth's inability to do so for years. (Had me asking for Lea & Perrins by name in restaurants, lol)
Now, I'm able to say worcestershire sauce without a problem.

Is it clit tour us

Or clit er ris?

 

[Camille]

OK I'll come clean. Since @4 Dimensional gave us deb-t. (Now that you've clarified this, if I start saying it like that I'm going to be mad. What has been seen cannot be unseen.) I have problems pronouncing water and world at times, but not every time now that I'm aware. Water comes out like like "wurd-ter" and world sounds like "were-erld". There are a couple others but I don't recall at present. When my dad used to say sink, it came out as "zinc".
