For some reason that word is always difficult for me to pronounce. What words are hard for you to pronounce?

(there are also words I love to say....but that is another thread)

nuclear, sorry but it is. And if I stop and think about it, forget it, I am done for then.

Strategy - it always comes out as stragedy, like tragedy. Anyway, it always gives everyone a chuckle.

I have pretty good pronunciation skillz...

Swafia, on the other hand... :shock:

My personal favorite of his is 'Manipulate'... It always ends up coming out "Nipple-ate":dunno::blush:

Ah, well. I can't add 2+2 and not get 5, so I guess we're even. :love:

"Chock-taw-hatch-ee" always kinda stumbles on the way out.

After some years of effort, I no longer say Newk-Yew-Lurr. TaDa!
 
Academician (and I am one).

Can't (because Momma taught me to pronounce it "cain't").

On (because Momma pronounces it as "own").

Etc., etc. from being reared listening to her East Texas dipthong/drawl.

Daughter, on the other hand, had an African-American nanny while I worked until she could stay by herself. So she sometimes says "dis" instead of "this" and "dat" instead of "that."

Rhinoceroses. Yep, more than one. One of the books I read to the youngest boy has this word in it (along with a drawing of two, huge rhinos) and I always seem to add one or two -ses onto the word. It can get so bad that I can never finish the word! Rhinoceroseseseses...
