Prostrate instead of prostate.

I seem to remember the late Cilla Black recounting her first introduction to an ‘advocado’. No such word, but she repeated it a dozen times in the tale.

That's just the sort of thing that she would play up.

Mohave a friend who says this. I’m far too fond of her to point out the mistake!

Gosh a violet coloured mythical small,person calling us sad….am I bovvered ?? Oops sorry…bothered.

So does said person go on every single thread which isn’t deadly serious and have a go ?…..several times ?

Lately I hear a lot of ‘shtrong’, ‘shtrength’, shtreet’, etc.
I don’t know who started it, but it’s been spreading like the blasted pandemic, so I’d like a Stern Word with them.

Whoever mentioned the dropping of t’s, ditto x 100. I sometimes think presenters/people doing voiceovers for ads, are given strict instructions to do it, even if that’s not how they’d speak normally, in order to sound as un-posh as possible.
Even Radio 4 is at it - whatever is the world coming to? ?

Skellington for skeleton drives me nuts, make no bones about it.

Haha, yes, I have heard that one.
Also, chimley for chimney.

How sad are you lot?

I think we're all rather jolly on this thread!

Re geography JulieNoted
We say geology not jollogy

I say joggraphy because I'm lazy and I promise to pronounce it proply in future.

Proply instead of properly

So fun instead of such fun. It seems to be what all the young people say now.

I really dislike it when people drop the 't'. The man (think his name is Rylan) who does the Cinch commercial: ”You need to get a bigger mo-or”. He also sports such white teeth that it is almost painful to watch him.

I don't think he's real, Greta, I think he is in fact a robot.

Amater for amateur.

The 'sixth' one is my pet hate too. None of the newsreaders/presenters can say it. I have heard 'sick', 'sith' amongst others. Also 'ashume' instead of 'assume'.

You will be complaining that we are all horrible again soon.
I hope that you are ok; there really is no need to get your knickers in a twist about something like this.

drawring instead of drawing

draws instead of drawers

IMO, *Purplepixie, it’s somewhat sad to be returning to a thread you evidently aren’t remotely interested in, except to pour scorn on it.

If you really have nothing better to do, you’re more than welcome to come to my house with a duster and a can of Pledge. ?

How sad are you lot?

What about geology, geodesics, geothermal,
geophysics. geoscience. geomorphic.
geometry, geocentric.

Just to confirm
The Greek root word ge, commonly used in the English prefix geo-, means “earth.”

Re geography JulieNoted

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

Just been reminded of ‘haitch’. Ugh.
