Common mispronunciations

DrawRing instead of drawing - what's that about?

Thanks Bags

My DD cannot, just cannot say baubles - it always comes out as ball-balls. Her sister manages to ask every Christmas 'What do you have on your tree this year?' she falls for it every time. But, the older girl insists on singing
GallOP GallOP GallOP when singing 'This is the way the Farmer rides'

A friend insists on pronouncing Gilet not as jeelait but as it is spelt with a hard G and a hard T

I thought Pell Mell was in Landan.

While my nuncle Rafe is orf to play gofe or pell mell, I take a cup of tay with the gels.

Fond memories of a family member who used to use underarm 'derodent'! Rats/mice/squirrels..?

I hate thee-ETTer for theatre. If anything it should be thee-atter.

Just rememmbered - my mother used to say 'vitamims', and 'rooband' ( for 'ribbon' )

DD3 used to say toaf for toast and toave for toes. DH and I still do

I knew a child who pronounced wardrobe as wardrove; as far as I know he may still be doing so.

I like chimbley too.

that's a mute e, so jigut, almost.

galen, Scottish pronunciation is jiget.

Can't stand Haich for Aitch. Or "I should of done that", which I have seen written in novels!

I like Chimbley, it has a certain ring to it, I may start using that.

And even the lovely Carol Kirkwood says "Englind" and "Scotlind" as do some other presenters of the weather.

My late uncle used to say Chimbley for Chimney and Thilthy for Filthy.

Ex says Alderburg for Aldeburgh.

Haich for H instead of Aitch

I love 'skellington'! (used in an ironical way, that is - remember 'Your Baby has Gorn down the Plughole' anyone?)

P'lice is my bugbear. All tv presenters say it these days.

Why do some people insist on saying marshmEllow for marshmAllow? Also skellington and chimbly* (although these 2 are less common among people of education

Charley I know. But do you pronounce it gigot or jigo?

Ooooooh Grannyknot now that is one I absolutely detest! I have been known to ask why those oiks football fans are chanting a word that doesn't exist, let alone a country.

I wouldn't know who says what is correct pronunciation outside of Ingerland!

Proply for properly and the one that I cringe at has been mentioned already - medsin for medicine.

I'm not sure if use any similarly annoying mispronunciations, probly do

SouthHampton and NorthHampton really bug me.

According to Cambridge Dictionaries Online, medsen is the British pronunciation, and med-i-cine is the US pronunciation.

My book called 'How to pronounce it' by Alan Ross (no date but it cost £1.50 new!) says that medicine should be pronounced MED-sen, two syllables not three. The second e is the 'schwa' as in 'the'. I wonder why.

I see nothing wrong with skedule. By analogy with the sh pronunciation, we should be calling a school a 'shool'
