what mispronunciation of words irks you?

[givemeaspell]

aks is mine.......instead of ask.  Why can't people get that right and it is quite common, also picked up alot so I don't get why people can't say it correctly.

One thing that a lot of posters on here are guilty of, is using effect instead of affect..

Here is an example of correct usage:

[newstart2380]

H is pronounced without an HHHHHH as in HHHHatche

[lakeland27]

try 'Julia' newstart

[aspie*mum]

I think you will find that H can be pronounced with or without a Hhhhh sound. 

Traditionally, it was not pronounced with a hhhhh at the beginning, and has only developed over time.  Words like hospital and herb were traditionally pronounced "os-pi-tal" and "erb".  

🙂

Either way is correct, traditionally speaking, dropping the "hhh" is correct, but as language is something that changes over time, using the "hhh" for H is also correct.
