Conshumer?

We were in a restaurant and ordered two cappuccinos.

The waistress said "would you like cuppucinnos or a muguccinos "

I used to work in a factory canteen, and many times had to bite my tongue when my ever so proper supervisor told people that soup of the day was asparagrass. Or is it me who`s wrong?

Yes, there are lots of others that do. It isn't a word I use very often, so I won't worry about whether I'm pronouncing it correctly or not. (I'll be OK if I get a job at the Beeb though! )

Ah well, not worth losing sleep over

but this one does

It may be - just checked my dictionary and it too says the 'h' is pronounced, but this online pronunciation site says not:

dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/british/abhorrent

B****y iPad at it again province pronounce!

I province the 'h' Ana and I've just checked in my dictionary.. Perhaps it's regional or one of those ever changing words?? .

They won't be recruiting you then?

I received an email from a recruitment agency the other day saying:

Here at FS1, we're quite literally swept off our feet!

NO YOU BLOODY WELL AREN'T

Read a review on Amazon which said that the buyer was so pleased with their purchase that they would defiantly buy another one.

(ent rather than ant, but more or less the same)

I thought that was how it is pronounced...

Just heard abhorrent pronounced as 'ab-or-ant' on BBC news

A lot of 'hard-working-families' will be affected by the generelection, wheniwasyourage..............grrrrr. Call-me-Dave is always saying it and it sounds so patronising.

Literally this and literally that, never used in the correct way these days. I am literally sick of it.

Or should that be Generelection?

It is with a sense of profound gloom that I realise that there are 15 weeks to go before what a lot of people on TV and radio insist on calling the Generalection.

A good friend of mine says "unindated" Problem is, after a while it starts to sound correct, iykwim?

Don't start me off with the prostrate thing. My DH also has prostate cancer and calls it what it is. However we have had nearly 50 hospital visits this year and met many men with the same illness. In all honesty I can't recall one of them that didn't refer to it as prostrate. I have a friend whose DH has had the illness for 4 years and she still says prostrate. Aaarrrgh.

Sorry to jump in again but my BF says Gillit for gilet (using hard G) it drives me bonkers also Shattels instead of Chattles (will etc)

Secaterry-secretary

chimbly - chimney

thilthy - filthy

I borrowed it to him - I loaned it to him

fieth - thief

I also have an aversion to the word Lush which a lot of my Welsh family use for ((I think) lovely. and Stunnin' is over used to. makes my toes curl

prostrate instead of prostate (my DH is forever tell people that he has had prostrate cancer and that his friend has prostrate cancer too)

Raspberry!

GillT57 she nearly had an orgasm when talking about something earlier! It was some sort of gin, either damson or raspberry.
