Thyme making a thread? He must be really bored. n_u

Anyway, pretty generic thread here. Post strange habits you have when speaking or writing and some examples of words you tend to pronounce strangely.

[spoiler]yes classic i totally stole this thread from hen spam;[/spoiler]

So, one thing that's particular in my case is that I don't actually speak English that much. At my job, I had a coworker who was from Florida and spoke only English, so that was ONE opportunity to use, but other than that I pretty much never speak it. When I do speak it, or when I'm just reading out loud, there are some words I thought I pronounced correctly until I actually heard someone else pronounce it. Some of these words I still pronounce like that.

Chandelier: This word exists in French, so I pretty much thought it would be pronounced the same way as in French, but with an English accent: chan-duh-liay.

Cabinet: Same as above: ca-bee-nay.

Chocolate: I tend to pronounce that second o.

Bear: Like beer.

Though: thoo

Mic: Well... I pronounce it as it looks like, forgetting that it's an abbreviation of MIKE-rophone.

Tackle: tay-kul

Anti-: I'm confused about this prefix. It seems sometimes it's "antee" and some other times it's "an-tie", but... well, I always use the second one.

Fatal: fa-dal goonish

As for silly habits in my written English, I tend to use the words "well" (as an interjection), "actually" "really" and "somewhat" quite a lot. Sometimes I forget some pretty common words and I need to ask people to help me find them. giggle;

Something tells me I also use commas too much. O_0

When I speak in French, I tend to use a lot of English words. The Quebec jargon already has a lot of English words, like functional objects ending with -er (toaster, blender, muffler, tire) and... well, most things having to do with cars, but I tend to use them even more, and a bit randomly. Speaking of which, "random" is a word I use a lot and most people I talk to don't even know what it means. Same for "awesome" and "badass".

You mean like when I say "New-clee-air" for nuclear?  bassir;

I prefer that pronunciation, to be honest. I don't use it, but it sounds better. befuddlement

Most Texans pronounce it "New-kyew-ler"...

So when I say "New-clee-air"...I'll have to repeat it several times before they realize I'm saying nuclear.  n_u

I think your commas are fine, but I've been known to overuse them as well, so idk n_u

Apparently I tend to cut off the second g in "going" when I'm talking fast... This causes my floormates to speak in a southern accent when doing impressions of me saddood;

Since talking to Hyper and going to Australia I tend to use these

Mum for mom. Like the flower.

No worries. Flight attendants say that a lot.

Any language other than American English, perhaps? I don't know much about any other languages but I at least know it's pronounced with the extra i in Japanese and I'm fairly sure the British would keep to the -ium sounds of all the other metals when they keep the i that America removes. And considering who posted this quoted message, I'd assume French does as well.

I like to start sentences with 'and', I use commas a lot, and I do some other weird things especially when typing that I can't particularly think of now. Oh and I also seemingly-randomly change between British and American spelling, though I tend to stay at British most of the time.
For the longest time I thought "Molybdium" is pronounced like molly-buh(with vowel barely audible)-dium, but apparently it's moe-lib-dium

I more often hear it as chock-let, but occasionally hear chock-oh-let. And sometimes it's more of a slur between the two, like the second o is said somewhat faintly and quickly.

So how do you pronounce "potato"? I usually say poe-tay-toe.

that does not sound like errand

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/errand
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/air

It definitely does goonish

you just say it faster at the beginning of errand. Look at the words "air" and "err," the pronunciation is the same.

And using the same site, it goes:
Air: ˈer
Err: ˈer
Errand: ˈer-Éâ,,¢nd, ˈe-rÉâ,,¢nd

So as you can see, they all have the same sound bassir;

Silly question, but, has anyone else ever heard somebody pronounce the word lawyer as 'law-yer'?  Some kid at school kept pronouncing it like that and it bugged me for some reason.  doodhuh;

EVERYONE IN THE SOUTH DOES IT AND IT DRIVES ME NUTS

"Get yoself a laww-yir"

TUH-EYE-MEE!  giggle;

I have trouble remembering the words "above" and "below". When I need to use them, they don't come to mind as quick as they should and I end up using "over" and "under", which don't exactly mean the same thing.

obligatory goonish

On a side note, I know it may look like I'm trying to advertise this thread by bumping it so much, but it's really just because I feel like posting it here when I can think about another thing I pronounce strangely.

what about the letter u?

Quoteusage Dissimilation may occur when a word contains two identical or closely related sounds, resulting in the change or loss of one of them. This happens regularly in February, which is more often pronounced \\ˈfe-b(y)Éâ,,¢-ËÅ'wer-Ã,,“\\ than \\ˈfe-brÉâ,,¢-ËÅ'wer-Ã,,“\\, though all of these variants are in frequent use and widely accepted. The \\y\\ heard from many speakers is not an intrusion but rather a common pronunciation of the vowel u after a consonant, as in January and annual.

I think I'm the only Texan that says February with an 'r' in the month.

Everyone says "Febuary". 

Quote from: Raekewn on February 11, 2009, 11:32:53 AM

I was more directing that comment at the letter r being replaced with the y sound but okay that works I guess the u can take place of the entire "you" syllable.

Still a bit specific, but I guess it's the good context anyway.

I say country instead of crunchy sometimes.

I say Maryland as Mary+ Land instead of Merrilend.

I'm trying to get out of the habit of not pronouncing the 's' in Illinois.

Deaths and debts.

I don't get why the 'u' in 'debut' is said as in oo, but not u as in but. so, I'll say de/but sometimes, but i barely use that word. Also...are you suppose to pronounce the 't', too?

Sometimes, I'll pronounce "I." into saying "Hi."
