Common words you can’t pronounce

[Captain Willard]

Hopefully self explanatory and maybe cathartic. All you have to do is write the word that you struggle to say out loud. I’ll open the batting with “specific” just can’t say it.

Do you pronounce it "pacific"? You're not alone. 

 

(Not me though, mind. I can say it just fine)

[Captain Turdseye]

Ibuprofen. 
 

Apparently I’ve been pronouncing it wrong most of my life. Just because I’ve been corrected doesn’t mean I’ll change my ways.

People who say 'pacific' when they mean 'specific' are a shower of bastards.

I’ve been calling it ibrufen for years

I’ve got this thing going on with the MS where occasionally I can’t think of a pacific word or I’ll say the wrong one in the middle of a sentence and carry on without realising. 
 

They’ve offered me a speech therapy session but I can’t be arsed with any of that nonsense. My missus and kids always know what I’m trying to say anyway and rip the piss out of me when it happens. I don’t want to take that pleasure away from them.

I’ve always pronounced these Blue Rib-And. 
 

Dunno why. My bird insists it’s pronounced more like ‘Ribboned’

 

Again, I’m not having it. I won’t be corrected.

I think I remember them being pronounced how you say it, so that should be enough for you to confidently confirm to your missus that you are correct.

But you’re emphasising the ‘A’, yeah? Rib-Ann.
