I said "beautiful" without the tMy brother had a full on British accent My sister said "forgot" like bee-dot and elephant like ele-foo The neighbor girl doesn't say v at all so it's "berry good" or "begetables" She also calls it a "jumpoline" instead of a trampoline |

Omg I needed this.I used to pronounce debris like “duh-briss” and arrogant like “uh-RO-gent” in my head. There are so many more but I can’t remember. People always pronounce “mascarpone” wrong but I know the correct pronunciation! |

Let’s see… my sister called our dog “Dubby” (his name was buddy). Not sure if this counts as a mispronounciafoon but when my aunt was younger she said “D-U-N. Done” and it’s kinda been a little saying in my family.

And when my friend was younger she said “yonk” instead of York for the peppermint patties since that’s what it looks like

@sparklers a while ago I watched a really interesting video on the ask pronounced as aks thing. If you are interested in linguistics, I can really recommend it:https://youtu.be/3nysHgnXx-o |
