I tend not to care about mispronunciations but millins/billins/brillint just sound retarded.

Does anyone you know pronounce words differently of strangley so that it gets on your nerves?For example I HATE when people say hospital like "hostible" and I also think that "exscape" is really annoying:mad:.Have you ever slagged or called someone up on it?

The amount of idiots that call 'espresso' 'expresso' is unreal. Even a woman working in a restaurant I was in recently called it 'expresso'.

Also, bruschetta. It's pronounced 'brusketta' not brusheta'!!! :mad:

Edit: Maybe I'm being harsh with the latter given it's Italian, but.....Ah f*ck it!

I want to go back in time and punch my neighbour who used to say 'lacers' instead of laces.

I remember when i was younger and we were forced to move into an area of council flat blocks in the north inner city. I was totally confused the first time i went to the shopsthe local shop and heard this little girl "Ma, getsapatchachickachees!". Translation: "Mother, get me a packet of Chickatees". I'm not posh or from a posh area, but i'd never heard an accent that thick. they also all used to say 'Bankily' for Balcony which really annoyed me, especially when i found myself saying it on order to fit in

i'd feel like a bit of an eejit saying 'brusketta'. i'm not italian. most irish people say 'brusheta', and unfortunately i'm not gonna break this bad-pronunciation rule. even though i know its the wrong pronunciation!

one proununciation i don't like is when people pronounce tremendous as 'trem-en-jus'.

People who say "I Seen" instead of "I Saw". That really bugs me.

Donkey.... Spell 'monkey' and pronounce it, now spell 'donkey' and pronounce it

I don't like it when issue is pronounced issssu. It sounds strange and, for some reason, almost snobbish.

Also, pronouncing room as 'rum' makes me laugh... and then annoys me.

As for American pronunciations: calling a fillet a 'fillé' is just ridiculous.

If someone in Kerry asks if you want a bagel, you don't know whether you're going to get a dog or a roll.

I pride myself on pronouncing my words correctly. This week one of my UK friends informed me I say 'height' in the Irish way 'heighth'. Adding an unnecessary h! Never realised I did this..

The guy on Art Attack used to pronounce drawing as "drawer-ing".

Not a pronunciation problem, but reminds me of people who say "I heard it in the paper".
