Enunciation

[smoky]

The pronunciation of words like 'military or secretary' are more often said as "mill-a-tree" or "sec-ra-tree"
What? are we Irish?

What about the TV1 weather presenter who says "the high tomorrow is..." but makes it sound like she's referring to Tsehai, another tv presenter!

Vunerable is another pet hate... and peninsalar.

Mom, on first reading I thought Sainsbury must be going to try out a blo-kart!

I get confused when I hear of the "dirdy warder" problems in towns like Clinton where there isn't even a prison. It took me a long time to realise that the news reader meant "dirty water".

When it comes to the weather, never mind the pronunciation, Toni Marsh on 3 is always going on about the 'action' and 'wet bits'. Check it out, there's so much inuendo.

Yes folks forget pronunciation, lets have a crack at enunciation. The art of pronouncing words clearly.

Sitting navel gazing earlier this evening I heard Mark Sainsbury doing a promo for tomorrow nights Close Up. He said... Tomorrow night we go on a "blow cunt". Swear to God that is what I heard. Of course I now am paying attention and watching the video that went with the words. He again said they were going on a "blow cunt", but this time the video showed what he was actually saying was they were going on a "bloke hunt". Every other word was as clear as a bell.

Obviously he had not read through that particular promo until it hit the auto cue in front of him, or he would have clearly said "bloke hunt"

Have you got other examples of a whoopsie moment like this?

Wow mom, that's what I thought I heard him say too!

Said to her indoors, did he say a "blue cunt"?

We both listened and next time it sounded clearly like he said "blow cunt".

Would have been more interested in his program if it was about what we thought he said! Cheers, John.

I'm always confused by "dror-ring"... Where's the second "R"?

Nuffing/nuffink and "arks" not "ask" get on my nerves too...

And "teddy beers".

What about the trend for people to replace "st" with "sht". Such as "shtreet"....

Words ending in "d" sound like "t"....and becomes "aaaant".

Elongating "i" - so like becomes "loike".

We are described as a beautiful, friendly nation... not an intelligent one.

[Pussy]

"Could of" (which makes no sense), instead of "could've" or "could have"

I'm beautiful friendly and intelligent...

Or was that, fat, fifty and fun...

The Pleece always gets me....
Even the Police top brass use the word 'Pleece' when refering to thier organisation.

And 'draws' mixing with 'drawers'

He drawers pictures and keeps them in the set of draws.....

"For Sale: Old oak bedside draws" -Is that some sort of early porno?

(oooh, that's another common one - "For sale: 1969 Boss Mustang, rare car, very sort-after" W.T.F.????)
