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.
@Rezoina @minipurin Haha me too ! I was brought up with a Vietnamese background and they always pronounced "Costco" as "Cot-co".
[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."
I used to pronounce
"Czech"
As "see" "Zeck"
xD
I tend to pronounce 'optometrist' and for some reason 'Neapolitan ice cream' weirdly </3
I pronounce "totally" as "totes", "good" as "gucci", and "bro" as "brah".
It's totes gucci, brah.
