    Being a lazy Northwest Ohioan , I tend to pronounce things typically the way they should be, except I say "comfterble" instead of "comfortable."

    Two of my cousins pronounce th's as f's. I can't think of any words with which I have repeated difficulty. I know I frequently mispronounce words, but that's generally out of ignorance than anything else. Once I've been corrected, I don't have much of a problem making the change.

    "Particularly" is just a cactus of a word. I dislike it and beat it up.

    I can't say Jewelry. Always comes out as Jewry. I also can't say Wisconsin or Minneapolis. I can say them but when I don't think about how to say it they just naturally come out wrong. More like Winsconson XD

    this is the correct pronunciation and everyone knows it.

    I like to think I pronounce all words in the way that is most socially acceptable. I do occasionally say "pronounciation" rather than "pronunciation" just for kicks though. But no, I don't have any speech impediments. My speech is impeccable, and this implies that any imperfections would be impossible.

    My speech is perfect in every way.

    Like Mary Poppins...

    (I drop t's sometimes and don't pronounce h's... but who doesn't?)
