Everyone has one....

A word you simply cannot pronounce properly. To this day I have a devil of a time saying, "Apothecary". Even in grade school, I could spell it just fine, but I'd get all tongue tied and just couldn't get the word out of my mouth. It was very frustrating.

So what word (s) stumps your ability to pronounce it?

If there are words that I have trouble pronouncing, I must not say them often enough to remember what they are...

Try to pronounce this and you'll never bother again:

The name of the city of Bangkok in the Thai language:

Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahintarayudyayamahadiloponoparatanarajthaniburiromudomrajniwesmahasatarnamornpimarnavatarsatitsakattiyavisanukamphrasit

Enjoy,

Man, I'd bust a giblet trying to pronounce any of those....lmao.

Heck, I'd have my tongue wrapped around my eye teeth and I'd never be able to see what I was saying..... ;)

I was sort of getting at more common words that stump people.

I'd like to think I have a pretty decent command of the English language, however my Nan is a constant source of amusement when it comes to pronunciation..

Deodorant= Derodeant
Spaghetti = Pasghetti
Video Recorder = Veedo recorder

I have a few more which I can't think of now, and some I can think of which are too rude for a family forum...  :o  ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
