Any to add ?

Omission of of in dates- e.g.

Is this an Americanism?

Saying "birfday" for birthday! I thought surely someone will bring this to his attention, but years passed and our TV weather man (who did it on a regular basis) never changed his ways. I finally became so incensed that I called the TV station and gave them what for. I mean, really.

A close friend finds some things “heart rendering”?

Reading this thread from the beginning has been quite an education and has challenged some of my own pronunciations.
A very “far back” voice often misses out bits of words, I’m thinking around the time of Noel Coward, when a clipped accent gave rise to many of the words quoted in this thread.

Bugalry instead of burglary

Ambalance V ambulance
Nooz V news

My late MIL used to say paramacetamol and tumbler dryer ?

It's not really a mispronunciation but I have to smile at the way the Americans pronounce "mirror".

Oh yes! "Can I get?" in cafes and restaurants drives me mad. I'd love to hear the server reassure them with, "Relax! It's my job. I'll get it for you!"

Velcro pronounced VALCROVE ! ?

Patically for Particularly (on a weather forecast)

My partner says.. Moosic ( Music) Toona ( Tuna) Stooart ( Stuart) ???

People who mix up bought and brought.
Ditto borrow and lend.
As in " I borrowed him £10" instead of lent.
Drives me nuts!

When my daughter was very little, she’d confuse the two until I told her that “ I bringed the thing daddy buyed”. She got it after that!
“can I get…” no, no no!!!

Just heard Jonathon Ashworth say seckatery instead of secretary.

Wrath is pronounced roth.

Ralph is pronounced Rafe-or Ralph if that’s what his parents call him.

Would of instead of would have.

Text talk, can’t stand it, it takes longer to read or decipher it than it would to have written it properly in the first place! Hello

Don’t know where Hello came from!

To almost everyone's disgust, Mrs Malaprop rides again!

Is this an Americanism?

No, because the Americans put the month first. (e.g. April first, and the legendary May the Fourth)

I learnt English for commercial correspondence and my grammar book states the following as correct for dating in texts.

"The goods were dispatched on the 22nd May"

or

"The goods were dispatched on the 22nd of May"

or "The goods were dispatched on 22nd May"

The 'of' is not necessary. Nor is the 'the'. I don't think that nowadays we bother about the 'st/nd/rd/th' either.

For dating of letters:
London, 12th July or London, 12 July

Last week, according to a commentator, Great Britain were sick in the Olympics medals table. What a mess that must have been.

I say joggraphy and thea-ter. How do others pronounce it?

I also say gararjh ?

I hear myself saying joggraphy too, but as a child I remember being corrected and told that the word is gee-ogg-raphy.

I haven't met many schoolchildren who pronounced it like that, and histry instead of history is fairly usual (but incorrect) as well.

Joggraphy is the correct pronunciation of geography. The 'e' is to indicate that the 'g' is soft, it is not meant to be pronounced. Just the same as the name George. I'm sure no-one says Gee-orge

We are vindicated fellow joggraphy lovers
