Have you ever always pronounced a word a certain way until you someone said it with the correct pronunciation?
Thanks to the wierd spellings that English words have, this is isn't all that uncommon for people. I know "Acmlm" is a word that people always pronounce differently. I have many of these words that I once pronounced differently untik I learned the correct pronunciation. Two words of the top of my head right now are "chasm" and "chitin". I used pronounce "chasm" as "tshazm" rather than "kazm", so I never got the joke that "tsar-chasm" sounds like "sarcasm". As for "chitin", I keep on pronouncing it as "tshittin" rather than "kaitin". I guess the people that discovered chitin pronounced the "cha" sound as "sha" so it would sound like "shittin'" rather than "tshittin" and gave it the pronunciation "kaitin". ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

I still have no idea how to pronounce "genuine".
I remember I had some funny pronunciations for certain words until I learned the correct pronunciation. I don't know which words, though. |

I've heard people say "advertissment". I say it "advertaizment" and I think most people do. ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

I still to this day pronounce "genuine" as "jen-you-ine" with the "ine" pronounced the same way as in the word "fine". ____________________ Can you burn a Luigi board? |

I prounce "grandeur" as "grandoor" but I've heard "granjer" as well.
Also, I have always pronounced "phenylalanine" as "fenee la la neen". I found out "phenylalanine" is pronnounced as "fenill ei la neen". I ain't pronouncing it as "fenill ei la neen". I will pronounce it as "fenee lala neen", like I always have. Screw the pronunciation. ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

I think the q or k may be replaced. Also, English sometimes uses non-English letters, like "Ñ", "Ü", etc. Although people pronounce "Ø" and "Ö" as "O" rather than like the similar-sounding "oo" in "book". ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |

I used to often misread words, adding nonexistant letters or removing some. For example, for a long time I misread "ecosystem" as "ecoystem" and "college" as "collenge" ____________________ Can you burn a Luigi board? |

I only misread words if I'm scan-reading at a very fast pace (Something like 20 words per second or so?) or if I'm reading horrible handwriting. The world could always use more heroes! |

♥7533 ✿4705 ★50 I misread things pretty often, but usually figure out that I screwed up just as quickly... my normal reading is pretty much a somewhat more in-depth scanning. |

I also misread words. When I was younger, I once misread "enrolling" as "errolling". LOL. ____________________ Sunshine Realm Welcome to Aqmlm's, the only board with Al-Aq'mlmistrators! |
