I always pronounce weirdly the words that are always weird

Like Jesus, is always pronounced Hay Zeus, or Le Miserable is prounounced Le miserablay, smoke is pronounced smawk, or smoke pot is pronounced inspiration time. Does anybody else have this problem?

Sometimes I switch the sounds of "th" and "f" because it really bothers some of my friends for some reason. For example, I would pronounce math as maf and bathroom as bafroom.

[quote=Rezoina]If you guise are familiar with the Wholesale warehouse Costco, I pronounce that a little weird. My grandparents called Costco as Coast-co, and they still do. Because I was always with my grandparents when I was younger, I picked up their bad English in that word only for some strange reason, and call it Coast-co rather than Cost-co.

I still do it and my friends all get pretty pee'd at that for some reason.[/quote]

Same for my family, ive always known it as "coastco" when I was young..
Until I saw the actual spelling of the name when I got older
So now I try to correct them everytime they say it that way

My own name. I feel like I sound so awkward saying my own name. I don't like saying my own name.

I pronounce a bunch of things wrong via English being my second language. Sometimes I just learn words from reading, never hearing them pronounced. I pronounce tobacco as "tabacco."
