Im wondering here, how many of you get annoyed with pronounciation issues?
Like someone blatantly says something wrong because its "how he says it" or it sounds wrong compared to what it should sound like, you know, people misprounounce things, and it can be annoying. The most common thing for me is names, especially my own name, which is understandable, as its a mouthful (although my new name makes it a bit easier). My old name Andreil, no one ever got it right, but I didnt care, as it was close enough, but my new name, everyone assumes its pronounced Rain, and when I correct them, they munt it up by dragging it out, its most annoying..
Im kinda a pronounciation freak, and I tend to correct people, although I am unable to say some things properly, for some reason, i cant make the little sound that distinguishes "three" from "free" and my mum always ridicules me for it..
The other night, I was have a voice conversation with this british girl, and she attemptd to pronce my full name, she failed so badly, I almost died of laughter, I couldnt breathe XD
"Reen Mel-keeth-ay Dark-storn"
XD she mananged to get the last name right, but with the accent it sounded hilarious, but the first two name attempts are just silly. My first name is Ree-ayne, but when said normally, sounds a little like Rain, but when I correct people, they start saying it exactly like that, drawn out, and it sounds silly, which is why its really annoying
Anyway, what things to do hate about pronounciation, and such?
