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.
