pronounciation of common words

Haitch for aitch is my absolute bugbear too. And joolery for jewellery. And seckertry for secretary. Susstificate. Oh now see what you've done, Ethel, I was having a nice peaceful evening!

They should bring back correct speaking announcers like Alvar Liddell. Everyone could understand him.

I don't think speaking English is a requisite for announcers these days !!
I was brung up with Frank Muir and Godfrey something !!

During Wimbledon weeks I heard TV announcers saying strawbries. they should be strawberries. TV announcers should speak perfect English.
I too hate people who say Haitch. Its H (huh).

my fault I always say pronounciation as I thought pronunciation was a shortened version of it. After all you pronounce something don't you.

A lot of words can be very different in different accents. In Norfolk we eat samwidges and I'd always assssumed people who said Haitch were just furreners, it's a difficult line.

Ashume. Conshume.

I see Chelseababy beat me to it - I type very slowly sometimes

One that bugs me is the mispronunciation of pronunciation - why do so many people say (and spell) it as if it were pronounciation, with an 'ou' in it?

Was that a typo in the thread title?

Sorry, I couldn't resist - this is pedants' corner, after all

So am sitting here ( I live alone ! ) saying 'sandwich, strawberry, Matalan! My most disliked pronunciation is people who say 'Haitch ' for H !!!

As its pedants' corner shouldn't it be pronunciation?
