Quite possibly. But that actually is a name in English and it's pronounced Ree-no, so the mistake (if it is one) is quite plausible.Quote:

That happened to me at times to. Like "piety" and other words.Quote:

The class had a good laugh too, because I just had to say it out loud when I asked the teacher what a "bel-ya-chee" was.
So someone else cant say the three/free thing either? Yay, im not alone!
Raistlin, thats EXACTLY how I used to think they were pronounced..XD
Yes. This lad from my school says my name as "Airr-meh". He's got the full St Helens accent =P
But yeah, its all accents. I find some words difficult to say due to my accent, like Better. I say Better like the "t's" don't exist. "Beh'er" :(
Shauna knows how bad my accent is xD
Yeah, I can use me own name too, which I AM in fact doing. It's also a real, valid name! So yeah, stop saying that. :) :rolleyes2Quote:

Try a difference between Geordie and Cockney accents, the pronounciations are different, very different.
Well, SORRY I'm from Scotland. :mad2:Quote:

I pronounce things very differently from a lot of people here since I have a cool Queens accent and they had dumb this area of NY accents. They say dog with the vowels pure, but kind of whiny, but I say "Daaaawg" and other words like coffee, Harry, orange, etc. :)
