10 terms I never knew/ didn't know how to pronounce
Friday 19 August 2016
I got lazy and never did bother to google their pronunciations. So here are 10 mispronounced words committed by yours truly.
manslaughter
is it man-slaughter, or mans-laughter??????
modus operandi
heard my blaw prof pronounce it yesterday and damn, I've been pronouncing it wrong my entire life?
miscellaneous
I always thought it was pronounced as mis-ka-lah-neous when I was a kid
aisle
used to think it was i-sirl
Alzheimer's
pronounced it as arl-zee-i-mer
pharaoh
far-row, fair-row, far-ra-ow or fair-ra-ow?
suburban
embarrassingly pronounced it as su-bur-ban until An corrected me. Sorry Ter.
chivalry
always alternated between chai-val-ry and kai-val-ry until I heard someone use it
hierarchy
hear-ar-chi, anyone?
albeit
all-bait, until I just found out that it's all-be-it
For friends who thought my English was good, I apologise.
