    *yawn* "overcaft, avercraf" "huuhhhvercrat" "They're trying to say Hovercraft"

    Yeah. Metalocalpyse is just expanding my titleness.




    When I say words like "mittens" or "latin" or "cotton" they sound like "middens", "ladin" and "coddin", for some reason hard T sounds that are in the middle of a word are just not there for me and they come out D's.

    Alot of the time either someone will tell the person I'm talking to what I'm saying or I'll just end up having to go "MITT-TENS" "LA-TIN" "CAW-TIN"

    Anyways! What words can you personally not say or atleast have trouble pronouncing?

    I have problems with the word 'millennium'.

    I also tend to emphasise the 'h' in words beginning with 'wh.' It's a Scottish thing.

    I can't think of anything in particular that I have trouble saying, but my sister is entirely unable to say "treasure chest."
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    None really. I'm pretty picky when it comes to my speech. If I happen to come across a word I have a problem saying I say it over and over until I get it right. I'm pretty hard on myself. I do tend to get lazy at times and run syllables together. Its really annoying, especially when I hear myself on the intercom at work. I sound like an uneducated hillbilly. And then I get really mad at myself.

    Not too many, but sometimes I have trouble with the sound 'L' at the start of words.

    I simply cannot possibly pronounce it. Every time I attempt to say it, I add an extra "im" or "um".

    The Scottish cannot properly pronounce a single word in the English language.

    probably, cause Im from North West England and we have the worst accents. None that I can think of just now, though. Pretty much every word is missing out letters!
