I can’t say ketchup properly. Say it like “catch up”.

Joe Biden.

It's always "frick Joe Biden" or "frickin' Joe Biden" or "This stupid piece of shite, commie, a-hole, cocksucking, pedophile, Joe Biden". You get the point.

Not necessarily an incorrect pronunciation, but I have to do a mental pause before using orchard/orchid to make sure my mouth is about to say the correct one.

And I call every Cindy, Sydney and every Sydney, Cindy.

Carport and cardboard. It baffles me why I can't pronounce these correctly.

Just wanna say this is a solid thread. Great way to break up Monday monotony.


For me it’s epitome. I always read it as epi-tome.

My wife says the word "syndrome" really fast where it sounds like 'syndrum' and it bugs the crap out of me.
