I think either is grand. Like ‘priv-acy’ and ‘pry-vacy’ for ‘privacy’, and ‘shed-yule’ and ‘sked-yule’ for ‘schedule’, I wouldn’t think someone was wrong saying either pronunciation of ‘often’.

Thirty three and a third will most likely have a silent 'h' everywhere
Most words ending in "ing" will probably have the 'g' knocked off

With "th"s my hearing isn't 100% so I can't actually hear the difference between how I pronounce it to others. Been corrected on it on numerous occasions by numerous people

None of the rest because I can't say them properly but they just don't roll off the tongue/sound right to my ear so I prefer to to pronounce them incorrectly

I've lived in Waterford for almost 18 years so I now force myself to pronounce th properly. I also tend to pronounce some words differently depending on the context (e.g project, privacy). I also work in a place popular with American tourists so I often change pronunciation to match them, tomato & basil especially. It's just force of habit now I think.

City-ation, for "situation".

When I speak in my northern accent.

I've a habit of pronouncing thanks as tanks.

Getting the h in is difficult for some reason.

I think that's the actual pronunciation of it, but I don't know why.

Pronouncing "Ranelagh" as "Renelagh" is another one. It's "Ran", and no way can I be convinced otherwise!
