Been having a bit of fun with my missus getting her tongue around pronouncing English words. These two come out particularly badly. Has anyone noticed any other words that may cause embarrassment?
Sheet sounds more like "sh1t"
Pope comes out more like "poop"
Frovervly.

I thought there was something wrong with my hearing when my Mrs asked if I wanted to go on the bitch. Now I know she meant the beach.
I used to read Leicester as LEI-SES-TER and Wycombe as WHY-KOM-BI, thanks to my husband for correcting me but of course that was after he laughed so hard that he nearly S**T his pants over it.

The only thing that Keith teases me when it comes to words and/or pronunciation is that I speak the American English. Even other British people I meet say so, that my accent is clearly American..Well I've been taught my entire life in American English and all the project clients I had at work are all American.

I found the pronunciation of slippers by filipinos as " sleepers " amusing. By which they meant flip flops. Slippers being something completely different over here......
It's because English language in the Philippines is based on American English. Lots of differences.
For example, I say "elevator" you say "lift"..I say "aluminum" you say "aluminium"..I say "trailer" you say "caravan"..I say "french fries" you say "chips"..I say "chips" you say "crisps"..I say "driver's license" you say "driving license"..I say "vacation" you say "holiday"..and there are more!
