what mispronunciation of words irks you?

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.

Once a very funny convo went on with one of the lads saking me: "Hows your t*ts?" & it went on and on with me clarifying and blushing and he was actually askin "Hows your kids?"

yeah, accents can really throw you.  I remember a canadian guy once asked me if I wanted to go to a kafy house ??


 


No matter how many times he said it, it didn't make any sense to me LOL


 


finally worked out to be a coffee house.....why didn't he just say a cafe ? would have been easier !


 


 


No words really irk me but a friend always said cloves instead of clothes LOL

Hi ! all ..


 


it didn't irk me but thought I would share:


 


We had a garage sale and a lady asked me if I had any *beads for sale..


 


I said we have a couple of necklaces that she could pull apart and use the beads..


 


She looked very puzzled and said , No not beads .. beads like you slip on .. 


 


My thoughts were , why would you want to slip on beads !


 


Then another lady spoke up and said,


 


I think she is saying beds that you sleep on .. shes from NZ..


 


I felt so silly .. but we had a good laugh together ..   :^O
