Always Mispronouncing?

Post Reply New Topic

I probably mispronounce many words that I read about but never heard spoken.

I meant to improve that but, I never got around to it.

I usually know the pronunciation of a word, but the construction of it is often lost due to my fast talking and thinking (like ending your first sentence with the last bit of your final wanted sentence.)

I've been told that I say supposedly "supposubly" but I've never caught myself saying it that way. I find there are times where I slur all of my words, so I often stop myself and try to correct what I just said. It's a strange lapse that occurs only now and then.

If we're onto slurring, then I do that too Like McManager, I sometimes just slur everything together!

I'm always putting the wrong emphasis on the syllables of words, accidentally giving a word a pronunciation from a different language (e.g., Latinizing 'Oliver' into 'Oliuer') or just flat-out getting it wrong because it looks different on paper (where I acquire most of my vocabulary).

I pronounced 'gnu' as 'guhnu' for ages when I was little.
