As a child (quite a big one ) I pronounced skeleton as skelington and dressing gown as dressing gownd........I still think they sound better that way.

I constantly confuse and dont know the difference between twit and twat.

I have a cottage in a place called Beddgelert in North Wales. The dd is pronounced as th. When people phone up to book it there are all sorts of wierd pronunciations.

In F1 I can NEVER remember how to say Jamie thingies surname so i just say Jamie Aguelairee (Ag wa lair ee)

I used to think those little bits on a chess board were prawns.

Im sure there's loads, Im always getting things wrong.

People saying Lan-Ely for Llanelli

Pronunciation and spelling
The town's name is often mispronounced by non-Welsh people, particularly those from outside the UK. The "ll"s in the name are pronounced as voiceless alveolar lateral fricatives (IPA symbol [ɬ]), a phoneme that does not exist in English. In England, where many people are aware that "ll" is not the same as "l" but are unable to pronounce it quite correctly, it is common to hear "Llanelli" approximated as "Clanethli".

To be fair Welsh words are a different language to English so pronouncing is going to be different.

I agree mate, but then the news reporter get it wrong you soon get annoyed with it

Oh God,just remembered something humiliating.When i first started following F1 i would read Lewis Hamilton as Levi's Hamilton.Like that denim factory .Once,my dad pronouncuated it actually correctly but since he doesnt know English i thought i was the one doing it correctly so i said:''No dad,it is read like Levi's.Louis is a woman name!Dont do that again.' then he said he wont.But when i first watched a GP on TV i saw who was right lolz

Plus,few years ago i couldnt pronouncuate the sound th but i was envying to native speakers.So i would read it like f.Once i was talking to my friend who lives in England and speaks English i said:''I dont know how to pronouncuate it.For example i do it like:Well,i fink....'' She laughed so hard then i said i dont know how to pronouncuate th.She tried to teach me but i couldnt do that.This was a big problem for me but not anymore.
