Ts

Crate instead of create

It's funny, I hadn't really noticed before, but watched a good video by Dr. Geoff Lindsey on youtube - Why Some People say SHTRONG (the CHRUTH). It is illuminating.

He uses Michelle Obama as an example. I had not realized that she did this until pointed out, so it's not necessarily a British thing.

But the missing T's really annoy me!

I had to take a young girls details over the phone, she said her name was Kayee, I naively wrote it down as Kayee.

When I actually met her in person and she had to put a signature next to her name she was so cross as it was Katy😬.

Oh yes the 'sh' thing. Carol Vorderman describes things as 'shooj' instead of huge.

A lot of presenters can’t pronounce huge. If it’s not shooge it’s phewje.

Drives me mad

A BiL whose name is Hugh, spends a lot of time in France - the locals have never been able to get their tongues around his name - he’s generally known as Monsieur Yoog. 😂
(Not that I’m saying they ought to be able to, just in case anyone thinks that’s what I mean.)

One of our local politicians has posted 'myself and my party support etc....'

A common nickname for Hugh is Shooey.

Or Shug in Scotland (Gaelic). kircubbin

Who remembers Shughie McFee?

I lived near Luton for awhile. As some of you know, the area was famous for its straw, which is why there were hat factories there. A huge cottage industry was plaiting straw, but it's a particular skill, and the best way of managing it was to hold the end of the plait in the mouth, so the saliva kept it moist and manageable. The glottal stop is especially strong in that area - try saying 't' with your mouth full of straw!

When we were having spelling lessons at school, one teacher said 'jai' instead of 'jay' for the letter J. I don't think I have heard it since then, in all of 75 years.

that jai, i presume same as j'eye, sounds either very rustic or very posh.
i was confused by a french teacher who was irish, in england, as she spelt out certain words;
until i realised she pronounced the letter R as or.
i thought french has a lot of alternative spellings . . .
