I was inspired by this recent couple of threads on mispronunciations, but if you don’t think this is the right PLAICE for it… no worries. WRASSE just say, it might be stimulating for some; no need for them to be subtle or KOI either.

I didn’t know quite how to appROACH this and it gave me a bit of a HADDOCK at first. Then I asked myself, “HALIBUT if I throw this open to everybody. It may turn out to be a BRILL thread as long as they don’t let it FLOUNDER”.

It could keep us smiling for a couple of DACE. Over to you…, this is making me feel a bit TENCH now. It may turn out to be CRAB but, hey… I know the risks… I wasn’t PRAWN yesterday.

Just something to think about over a nice large STURGEON and tonic.

Sugar! The penny just dropped. My grey matter must be thickening. I’ll have to reduce my intake of cornflour.

Heard during recital of the beatitudes, “Imbierka l-qalza mqatta tieghu” for “Imbierka l-Qalb Imqaddsa Tieghu”.

During the Latin litany, ‘Stella matutina’ became ‘Stella ta’ malatina, and ‘Faederis Arca’ was corrupted into ‘Fidiel ta’ Sakra’. We also got ‘Regina santu rimonju’ for ‘Regina sanctorum omnium’

Thank you. He has his moments.

“Rules and perimeters”.

Even an American would pronounce them like that, unless he learns the correct pronunciation from a British person.

Try going to Best Buy or any IT store in America and ask for a “route-r” .. no one would have a clue as to what you’re referring to. Then try say “rout-er” and you’re all set.

Not saying it’s right or wrong, just pointed out differences.
