My boss fucks up "aluminum" everytime he tries to say it. We are doing an aluminum floor so I get to hear him fuck it up many times a day. Life is good.

 

[ExLimey]

Any word ending in "berry"
Glacier
Library
Garage

Has to do with my English upbringing than anything else. Used to get teased about it at work. "Strawberry, Library, dingleberry..."

cinnimon

FAST POSTER!! Now I am forced to carry you around like a six pack.

Very true. I have taken to forcing him into saying aluminum by constantly refering to the floor as stainless steel.

If I were the boss I would fire my ass.

The British pronunciation (ally-min-yum) is much easier than aloo-min-um I think.

Are we talking about "drunken pronounciation"? Cos I can normally pronounce spaghetti.

"specific"

Very embarrassing. I avoid it. It comes out "pacific" despite a concerted effort to enunicate properly.

for me, they come out as "sith" and "fith".

 

[Ladyhawke]

I can't say association at all and for years I couldn't say Social Security but I finally taught myself that one.

 

[christo]

I can't say "particularly". My tongue can't quite curl around the "ti-cu-lar" part.

 

[Zmey]

any word with "th" combination. I hate my self for not being able to pronounce it properly

 

[watergirl]

sterlingclay -

I forgot about that one - I can never say abomable either!

and ksmybuttons - no, Worcestershire Sauce is beyond me, too.

 

[ksmybuttons]

My issues are mainly phonetics. Since I am an avid reader, I understand many words and can write them but what do you mean "centrifugal" force? Right. Spelled just like it sounds!
